Had a great day, blatting around in my 250BHP Dino replica in the sun, learning to lipread 'Ferrari'...

Unfortunately, the handling seemed somewhat iffy, and on returning home I noticed a very out of alignment rear wheel. Further inspection provided the answer - the rear-most, lower wishbone inner adjustable end has parted company with itself, and instead of being a tube through which a bush and ultimately a securing bolt is fastened, it's now a claw, merely holding on (just... gulp ) to the top of the bush.

Any ideas where I can source a couple of replacements? Seems to be 16mm thread, into a cylindrical end which is 33mm O/D, and 28.5mm long, containing a nylon bush, about 6mm longer than the tube. Thread length needs to be about 100mm.

Post a few photos of the damaged area and attachments and I'll advise.

All sorted now - the solution was to remove all the end tubes, and weld on new tubes, then fit new bushes. All is sweetness and light again.
