Not sure if i'm missing something here, but i've ordered 2x Powerflex diff bushes from RaceTech (part number RD6364) but when i put them against the bracket they appear too long between the bush flanges:



It's a 93 Griff with a GKN diff - i'm only looking to replace the bushes in the front mounting plates as the rear bush looks OK and i'll do that when the body comes off for a full chassis refurb anyway.

Do the bushes come in different lengths?? It was the only option available for the 4.3 on RaceTech's web site but my recollection was that the original bush was almost flush with the end of the bracket and that was a real effort to get out.

I've not offered the bush up to the chassis yet but even if it does fit the chassis surely the bush should sit flush against the outside edges of the bracket?

Thanks all – appreciated

I'd already got the old bushes out - hence why i was a bit peeved when i saw the new ones!!

Blow torch, hack saw (with a good blade) and about 30 mins sweet put paid to the old ones....

Will probably go with Carsy's suggestion of removing a lump from the middle...
