Use to repair the frame when the threads have been stripped. The frame must be tapped with oversize threads before use. These bushings together with our Oversize Bushing Tap are the easiest and highest quality way to repair a stripped frame.
Easy to install and remove. Loctite is not necessary. Use 7/32" nut driver or socket. If using a torque driver, 18 in-lbs is recommended for both steel and aluminum frames.
These full size bushings will work with grips not less than 0.245" thick. Use our slim bushings for grips 0.188" to 0.245" thick. For still thinner grips use our extra slim bushings.
We strongly recommend using our bushing O-rings and grip screw O-rings. They will:
- Prevent loose bushings which can lead to stripped frame threads
- Eliminate loose grip screws
- Prevent scuffed frames
- Provide the most secure mounting available for the 1911; you'll feel the difference!
