1965 Mustang Convertible Roof Frame Bushing Measurements, Pictures & Part Numbers ( Part 1 )

Ford don't supply these Nylon Flanged Bushes any longer and you can't buy them,  I think its probably still not commercially viable to make these, so I thought I see about getting some made up for myself or at least try and search for them.

Because every single one is different there is so many of them in the roof frame, it was a lot of work to record every single measurement I thought at least I could record them as I'm sure the measurements will be of use to someone else as well.
