Bushes... Where from?

[camel_landy]

Oh arse, I've just found out that Steve Heath has shut up shop, just as I was getting a dirty great long shopping list together of bits for the chassis refurb.

Where can I go to get a complete set of bushes, drop links & new bolts?

new bolts, just measure the old ones and order as needed, that or clean them up and just get new nuts, bushes set can be found on ebay, or go on the powerflex website and see the ones you need and order seperately, that or all the big tvr places do them.

drop links, been told the originals are just as good

Yeah, it's just that Steve did a nice kit with everything you needed...

Hey ho.

All the suspension bolt sizes are in the sticky at the top of the forum.

All the bushes can be obtained direct from PowerFlex if you want poly bushes or any of the usual TVR specialists for standard ones.

Measure your anti-roll bars as you will need to get the right diameter. Also, use someone who will accept returns incase you have to exchange any.

Cheers guys,

I was wondering if one of the stickies would have had the bolt details... Otherwise, I've been having a look around and noticed the different sized ARB bushes. Thnx for the tip on returns, I'm now going to go & check that the one I've found on eBay takes returns.

Yes. Thats why I listed them at those sizes...

It was more out of exasperation as just when you think you're getting the hang of the obscure things TVRs throw at you, you find something else!!??!!

I think that even my Landy has more metric sizes in it than this!??!

I think the imperial sizing is due to the thread being UNF, giving more threads then a standard metric bolt.
