Adampie8432 820 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've seen all different types of bushers on this section but never a border or even heard one mentioned, so just curious do people still use them for bushing? Let's get your border pics up guys if you have one. Atb Adam Quote Link to post
