    I need the bushings for the Silhouette SPX drill mount.

    Please let me know who can send me a few or if they can be ordered other than Silhouette. What size are they?
    Thanks
    Craig

    There is an older style with metal bridge and SPX temples where the temple studs were also plastic - hole sizes 1.4 bridge, 2.0 temple. I don't believe that is a current model. The current SPX Art, also metal bridge/plastic temple, has metal studs on the plastic temples, and all holes are 1.4 and use the same inserts. I could find some of the big ones (probably) but Silhouette will send some. If you like, I'll call Silhouette for you and have some drop-shipped. It'll cost you coffee or a good whiskey when we meet. PM me if you like.

    Optisource has them. You need 1.4 unless they are SPX

    Sorry.
    The old SPX need 2.0 bushings. the newer ones have metal post so you can use 1.4 bushings. Dont get soft ones. They pop out.

    Craig - the old ones (all plastic) are a 2.0 mm hole temporally but the important thing to know is that the hole spacing between those 2.0 mm holes was 2.5 mm instead of the usual 3.0 mm.

    If it's the newer SPX with the metal pins, it's the usual 1.4 mm bit with 3.0 mm spacing.
