The first production run has been made and sold. I'm making a couple of small changes to improve them further and that should then be the final design. I hope the latest version batch will be ready in about 2 weeks.

How long will they last.. I do not know tbh and it will vary on the use and how well looked after they are. Treat them bad and the PU could start to fail in a few years. Keep the bearing in good shape and grease the mount they should last forever and millions of miles.

I will also be offering replacement bushes just in case anyone does ever have an issue.

The new batch are now in with a couple of minor updates.

1) the grease nipple is now a 45 angle type

2) the washers are cut from sheet stainless rather than turned bar

3) The shape of the seat cut into the alloy housing now has a longer taper to give a larger load bearing area.
