Swivl-Eze SP-201 White Nylon Bushing Skin - 3/4" ID x 1-1/4" OD

Works

I use my Swivl_eze 2244-T-SS or 2254-T-SS 1.50" O.D. x 25" long seat post for mounting a seat, or on occasion, rod holder. But in time the nylon bushing started cracking up. I purchased this bushing, but found the o.d. of this bushing was too big to fit my post without crushing the 3/4" i.d.. So I lathed the ribs down a bit and press fit the bushing in place and now all is good. But you shouldn't have to machine something for it to work.

This almost fit my Swivl-eze seat pedestal. Ribs on bushing stick out a tad too far. Lacked a 1/2" going in all the way, but will work. Also, the bushing ID was just a tad too small of 3/4". Had to ream out hole a very small amount. Overall happy to even find a bushing I could get to work. Ordered one more to replace my other seat pedestal.

Perfect fitment

Too small

Hard to drive into stand and had to enlarge center hole with drill once seated. Seems like it will do the job nicely now.

Why doesn't Swivl-Eze offer correct size inserts? I have the 7x7 base for standard seats. First of all, it was very difficult to get the original black insert out. Then, I bought a brass insert that was too big and I do not have the correct tools to grind it down, so I bit the bullet and bought this one. It is even bigger with the ribs. I even looked on their main website and I do not see any other insert. I was going to return it, but the shipping for return is almost what I paid. I will keep it and grind it at some point to try and use on my front seat when needed. Very frustrating.

Fit was extremely tight (which of course is a good thing). The only issue was after the insert was pounded in to the post, the pin on the seat was too tight. Ended up reaming out the insert a tiny bit so the seat would remove easier.
