What car are the suspension bushes from??

[markh1]

Chaps,

I cannot find on the equivalent parts thread what car the bushes are from. Does anyone know where they came from?

Many thanks.

I'm not sure what car they were originally from, but all the info you need for ordering them is here.....

Best to get them from a known TVR place to ensure you get the correct ones. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that link.

The reason I was asking was that polybush kits for Landrovers are sooo much cheaper than tvr kits and I wanted to find the original sizes so I can contact the landrover suppliers and see if they can help.

On a side note, in the powerflex diagram it does not show bushes for the rear upright/hub carrier. Do these have to be bought seperately?

I think they are Ford.

I had a new one (of the original type) lying around and if I can find it I'll take it along to the local Ford dealership and see if they can identify it.



It might take me a while to find it so don't expect an answer today though.

I have no idea whatsoever if this is significant but this site has a pic of a cerbera at the top of the screen.

Good luck.
I gave both the short bush (D0104)and the longer (CO200) bush to my local motor factors and they could'nt place them.

That might be the place to go.

These are very similar to the Cerb ones

They look good but resemble the standard bushes. I wonder if they would be better than poly type bushes??
