Rusty,
This is roughly what trying to put a 1.5"ID bushing on a 1.67"OD bar would look like, as far as the gap it creates. Not obvious from this picture is that now that upper stretched-out area is drastically oversized, because there was material for spanning from the hanger bracket to a 1.5"OD bar that is now pushed out 0.170" by the oversized bar.
I take offense to the comment about me not wanting to help people out. I only make the bushings to help people out, and make little/no profit off continuing to spend my time doing it. It would be way easier if there was a commercial part we could just buy. Using this 1.5"ID Gillam bushing on a ~1.67"OD bar just won't work. Dragging out the theory that this will work isn't helpful either (especially since a bunch of lazy readers in the future will not read this whole thread, and will stop and buy things right at the post where you are adamant it is going to work, and the confusion will perpetuate).
