20180426_165338.jpg Using this bolt as a mold makes the bushing rounder than using the hose clamp alone.  I preheated the bolt, and heated it longer this time before chilling, due to the greater thermal mass.  It came out about as smoothly- & tightly-curved as the old bushing, but it's thicker, and made of better plastic ([url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPRELXI/]Teflon[/url]).
