Well, there's the front wishbone rearward bush.

The two two diff block bushes to chassis which separate quite badly

Rear trailing arm bushes x4. (no idea how these degrade though :-\ )

Also roll bar bushes, they do fronts, not sure if they fit the rear as well. Rear also has very squidgy eyelet bushes in the rear drop links.

Put me down for a set Chris, I`ll fit my own so that`ll save you some ibuprofen lol
rear wishbone bush would be good too as this ones a common failure.
Diff mounts would also be good, be a shame to do the donuts but still have wandering diff mounts.
I think deposits would be a good idea too, if they`re gonna do the tooling then they don`t want messing around.
I can cross post on ABS if you want too, might get some more numbers up.

More the better Gav. :)

Visited Paul at Pollyflex today, he took some pics of the bushes in question plus dif blocks and trailing arm bushes, plus an interesting conversation re rearward front wb bushes and a similar example they have work in progress for another car. Consists of a polly ball joint pressed in to the WB basically.

But he seems confident our donuts will go ahead. There are some production meetings to get through and sales need to have a say, but once through that next week they'll get hold of a subframe from a breaker and get busy afaict.

Fingers crossed. They do have alot of projects on though, and those that will yield the best turn over for them will get priority by the sound of it.

We'll see. :y

I`ve posted a thread on ABS so hopefully we can get a few more numbers, incidentally a few years back we did a group buy direct with K-Mac for some Carlton/Senator donuts and these worked out at £112 with 25 sets ordered.

Should mention at this stage, Carlton bushes are NOT the same as omega, just in case that old tale is still doing the rounds.

I'm sure Paul is open to ideas on other models. :y

ide defo be interested!!  :y  :y  :y

just found this thread after posting somthing similar!!!

How about supplying them a full standard set of rubber bushes & get them to make a full set!!!

for everything required on the suspension, wishbones, antiroll bar "both" rear donuts, diff mountings, antirollbar link rubbers etc etc

would be great if you could get everything made in poly!! stiffen them up nicely  :y

well atleast chris you'll be able to do them with your eyes closed after fitting 20 rear sets!!
