Just the sort of web site I was looking for for the winter time.

They even do a bush set for a Marina , not checked if one for an LDV400 (WSV)

Good service, always in stock and don't rob you with postage either!

Wish I had left mine until the winter, might be going to BBWF in it if I had

Yeah, sounds a lot but compare the prices with some independants, over £100 cheaper in some cases

Derek still does not do them (and I still have no prize from last years raffle)

Should you change all of them, or do you get more benefit from changing specific ones?

I presume some are more labour intensive to change than others?

Well probably I'll change the front as there easier to do, then the antiroll bar that is even easier and finally do all the rears when I strip down the back to do the drive shafts uj which I think is a pain to do even with all the garage facilities I can use

If its a race car you might want to put solid bushes on, RT has them, in a nylon derivative polymer. A bit hard core for the road though IMHO.

I said this to John on Monday night...nylon is the way to go on that car, you can even buy in the raw stock and machine the bushes yourself.

ETA...or if you really want to do a proper job...phosphor bronze or make some rosejointed wishbones...I explained that one too

If you see them with Howard on sunday tell them IM NOT JEALOUS!!!!

It will do them the world of good to have a proper look at the other wedges out there BUT much more importantly - give them a bit of stick - its good for 'em and keeps them real. I heard a rumour they have overalls without any oil or grime on them??? Whats that about???

WTF??? Actually we've a set of 3 overalls that are near spotless (including a 5'1" version for Lex!)...they're our special paddock presentation Pistonheads ones that Ted very kindly donated to the cause, they're very different to my normal at home overalls that currently stink of ATF and gear oil, are covered in dirt and have large streaks of oil and grease wherever it is convenient to wipe my hands when under, over or in a car.

Don't worry I've got the lemonade ready for Mickey.

Just ordered a set of ARB and drop link bushes from Superflex, plus the homer simpson specials for the leading links... Now do I fit them before BBWF, or after?
