Bushes (no, not that kind Ben)
Bushes (no, not that kind Ben)
Obviously there are a few kinds of polybush available, but what about the ones not covered, anti-tramp bar, rear spring shackles etc.
Can you still get OEM or aftermarket? I guess the spring shackles seem OK, but the anti-tramp ones are just dust!

Bah, I was sure this thread would be about fannys or marajawhuharnar.
Re: Bushes (no, not that kind Ben)
Nope, Dai has considered it but no progress so far AFIAK. I have approached some bush mfrs with the possibility of a group buy, but need to chase them, they don't seem that interested.
My anti tramp bushes are shot, think its pretty important to stop the camber turning into toe-in. Its really a radius arm. The spring shackles (body side rear of the leaf) seems pretty well protected, I took mine out and will be reusing. Just fitted my new poly set spring bushes after refurbing the springs.

Re: Bushes (no, not that kind Ben)
Bad news. What are you planning for the anti-tramp bar then mate? I may see about getting some nylon and having a mate turn it. Unsure really.

If someone has a spare bar with bushes (even if buggered) I will get them made.
Anyone got one spare?

Re: Bushes (no, not that kind Ben)
Work is starting on rear engine mounts. Gearbox mounts I will need to look at in the near future - 340 and 360 ones are differnt so 2 types to deal with.
Also drive shaft boots and steering rack gaitors are on the way with work in progress.
