fitting the superflex bushes

[Granturadriver]

I'm changing the bushes of my Grantura Mk 2A.

I ordered the superflex bushes from David Gerald. These bushes have no steel sleeves as the original Rover rubber bushes still on the car!

Do I have to take the old steel sleeves from the original bushes when fitting the new superflex parts? Or do you leave them out and use only the bushes without steel sleeves?

Ok, David Gerald told me they have never supplied stainless steel crush tubes with these bushes. Where did you order yours?

[granturadriver]

Both packages included a small bag of "superflex polyurethane assembly lubricant". The fitting instructions say "lightly coat bush contact surface with assembly lubricant prior to fitment" and "Insert the stainless steel sleeves (where applicable) after the bushes are installed into their housing". (I think the bushes for Grantura Mk 2 and Mk 3 are different)
So I will take the old sleeves used with the original rover parts and use the lubricant to all contact surfaces.

subsumption:

I cut out the old rubber bush from the old steel sleeves over the weekend and tried to put it on the new superflex bush:

its fitting perfectly, no slacking no wobbling, I think it will do a good job!
