Thanks just under 50 bloody quid they probably get for £7.80 each !! makes my blood boil but i was desperate for them !! oh well hay how off to work we go to compensate .......ste .
well the story so far !! the bushes came and you guessed it they were the wrong ones , so racetec said I would hae to modify them wish i would have now purchaced the BTR brackets and bushes anyway i had to bore out my original brackets for these bushes to press in and than cut 5mm off each side , they said you cant get this early type of bush ?
anyone else had this problem with early griffs ?
Thanks Ste

Yes i did when i did mine.
I ended up using the bigger ones. I cut them in half and removed the appropriate amount off each half so they became the correct length and then pressed each half into the bracket.
I didnt touch the bracket. Yes they were a tight fit but maybe this has helped keep them in place. I just squeezed them in with the vice. In 4 years they havent budged and no problems.
I have since heard that David Gerald TVR stocks the correct smaller size polys for the early GKN. Maybe worth a call.

Theses are supposed to fit all diffs from '93 on???

I had to turn down the centre spacer, and the bush itself, by about 5mm a side...
