Hi hope someone might be able to tell me if (possibly only for future reference) if I can still get a kit of bushes (with or without bolts) for the rear swing arms on my 280i Wedge.

I'm in the process of having the rear diff replaced and had planned a "complete rear end" refirb at the same time, I ordered a kit of A-Frame bushes from Steve Heath (not realising my mistake at the time i.e. my car has swing arms not A-frames.) but he is sorting that mistake out for me, he is a very helpful chap indeed.

I don't think my swing arms need any work really (as I said it was a "while were doing it" type idea) but I'd like to see if I can still source the bushes for the swing arms just in case i need to do them in the future.

I believe the bolts are a TVR special and might be a pain to source (I'm hoping I won't need them anyway as mine would seem to be ok from initial inspection) any info would be most useful.

If you let me know the bolt size's I'll be able to source them for you.
May also be able to get them in stainless, but will be a lot more expensive.

will need to know bolt length, thread size (washer if req) and Nut type nylock or std.
