Hi all

I am in the process of rebuilding Trev, and he needs news bushes!

So heading down the road of polybushes but I am really struggling to find anyone apart from PowerFlex and Superflex!

Polybush do the older TVR but not new ones I think, I have dropped them an email to check, are there any other options?

There is a lot of talk about Steve Heaths, but as I understand it he has closed down?

Any help thoughts and importantly view on the above appreciated, as this is probably the most expensive ( if I go Powerflex) single cost of the rebuild eek!!! So want it to be right

Thanks as ever Alex

Steve Heath used to sell Powerflex, so i imagine these are on a fair few cars. I have them on my Griff and cant fault them.

Did TVR really have specific bushes made up, and not simply use something off the shelf from another car? Surely not...

You didn't give your type of TVR, so not sure this helps.

Youcan get a new-ish set of polybushes for the T-cars from TVRparts. They are way cheaper than Powerflex ones and surely very similar.

Obviously Polybush was involved in the development. I asked about shore hardnesses but never got an answer from TVRparts. Will need to sort my bushings, too really soon so might just give it a try.
