That's what this thread is for Doz.
All we're saying to Mr Pedders is, we are interested in owning Poly rear donuts for the omega.
The rest is up to Mr Pedders to convince us to buy. He may help on cost, he may not. I dont think there has been much interest so far from members here so fingers crossed.
Mike says he should have news on Monday. Let's see how things go.

Mean while, please register genuine interest, price depending.

Should also work a treat on the LC if that helps

She's running K-mac poly bushes as is my Gsi Carlton.  Believe it or not VX changed the design slightly between the Carlton and Omega. It's to do with the position and length of the inner metal tube on the bush.

[05omegav6]

Position yes, length no the ( much)  thicker top pad offsets this

Given that the K mac bushes are a direct alternative to the Pedders bushes, how do they compare price wise?

[doz]

Carltons don't have the top bush as standard. K-mac do. As for price I can't help there. Both my sets came from ABS owners who had brought them and never used them. Think I gave 80 and 50 but as i said they weren't technically new but unused. Also there's two different types from K-Mac. One has some voids in the rubber (look like drill holes) to soften them up and the others are solid. Both my sets have the voids which are better for road use. Some of the Senny boys took the solid bushes back out complaining of the stiffness.

[05omegav6]

The standard top pad on the Omega is 'waffer' thin, hence the Carlton bushes working out

The Pedders bush kit contains both the main bush assembly and the top pad, the bushes have a ring of small, shallow voids allowing some give

The Kmac bushes that were discussed in the thread over in Car Chat, were looking at being nearly £190 by the time they got here, and that was with a bulk discount of about 25%

The Kmac bushes that were discussed in the thread over in Car Chat, were looking at being nearly £190 by the time they got here, and that was with a bulk discount of about 25%

My K-Mac bushes were £112 from the ABS group buy so the Pedders bushes are comparable in price.

As for fitting the Omega bushes to the LC it`s a no go, although they physically fit, the Carlton bush is flush on the bottom where as the Omega bush the inner part is about 20mm lower and the top hats won`t do anything to help. The triangular plates accommodate the difference. Somewhere I have a picture showing the standard Carlton bush against a K-Mac Carlton bush and an Omega bush, if I can find it I`ll post it.

[05omegav6]

The Pedders bushes are actually a Monaro upgrade that happens to retrofit nicely on the Omega

The core depth difference between the Omega and these is irrelevant

How long ago was that ABS buy, the exchange rate is pish at the mo

The ABS buy must have been about four or five years ago, before the recession started and I think the exchange rate would have been much better.
Only mentioned about the core difference on these because you said they`d work a treat on the LC 

I really hope this happens cos the difference is well worth the cost 

[05omegav6]

Chrisgixer tried Carlton bushes on the Omega with very short lived limited success due to the bushes working out as there was nothing to stop the subframe riding up. These bushes completely eliminate that problem, hence my suggestion that a Carlton/Senator may benefit from having them fitted
