The job is finally finished, and all seems well. It was a good learning
experience. I will admit my last bushings were better and easier to
install after I figured out how wide to cut the felts. The red inner
felt was cut about 5/8" wide and the outer felt (thin black) was about
1". I sprayed contact adhesive from a can on each piece and glued them
together. It was easier to insert. The excess width of the outer thin
felt helped complete the circle around the inner felt. When I finally
got the width right, there wasn't much sizing needed. I also put the
seam towards the treble side so I could bend the damper wire slightly to
the bass side. We'll see how it wears.
Thanks to all for the helpful advice.
