Alternative T5 anti rattle linkage bushes

[geordiepingu]

Hi all,

Looking for some alternatives to TVR F0173 and F0175 for M8 bolts, as I'm hoping to get 4 nylon washers and 2 inserts for not £30.

Thanks

Washers cut from nylon sheet (Ebay) and search for nylon tube if you have the dimensions.

Having spent a bit more time on this, myself, Rob & Alan have developed some metal & nylon bushes that are correctly cut to the right clearance that takes all of the slop out of the T5 linkage. My box was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago by Readman racing and now feels tighter and more precise to shift with these bushes in than it ever has done.

I suspect we'll have an upgrade kit for sale later this year, for less than the cost of the TVR bushes. £30 + postage is daylight robbery for some plastic.
