I think the physical space in the OEM eyelet area is probably too small for something like a delrin bushing. Not saying it's impossible, but that's the biggest hurdle to a rubber bushing too. The COM10 size spherical bushing used is just really small and has a very high load capacity (it's just not very durable in the environment we're using it). So I'm not sure what it would take to find something that is strong enough for the loads, but also small enough to fit physically in the shock without machining it out to a larger size.
I'd love to have an easy direct swap though. Even a sealed bushing would go a long way I'd think. Just keeping the dirt and dust out would probably double the lifespan.

cut the bottom mount off the OEM fox units. tap it to match the threads on the king/ fox units, thread said mount to the king/fox units
