Default RFF17C gusset bushings

I just ordered these bushing they are the ones at that attach to the frt nose and support it

I opened the box and found them to be a solid piece of metal not rubber
Now I dont have mine off the car and I can see that there is a rubber outer material that has holes in it around the bushings
The ones I have from PY doesnt have any Visual rubber on the bushing....and it is a pretty heavy piece...
I sent Stacey a message to look into it for me as I was expecting it to be a duplicate of what was on the car according to the description on the Site

Has anyone else ordered these and noticed this....
Thanks for any or more info....Chris

Chris & I have mostly resolved this issue.. Here's an update. PY was informed of a new supplier making these for a cheaper price of $49 each. What we didn't know until they came in was they are all metal. We can still get the rubber/metal ones, for the original higher price of $139 for the pair.
Since Chris is in Canada shipping back & forth can get pretty pricey so we have arranged to swap them at Norwalk for him. That's the mostly part.. :)

p.s. There are notes in the online order section under the part number explaining this.
