Title: Senator rear donut bushes
Post by: feeutfo on 11 September 2010, 11:39:28
We now know Carlton rear donut bushes do not fit. Does the senator have a similar design bush that might do the job? No void holes in an omege bush or as close as possible to it, would be ideal IMO.... :-/

What's the odds? Slim I'm guessing.....

Chris - have you thought of seeking help for this fixation with donut bushes ? :-/





Only joking mate, I know there are many people happier with how their Migs handle due to your "fixation" :y

..,and are an exceptionally tight fit. But can be forced in, trouble is the hight difference shown in the pic means they work out again by the exact same amount as the difference shown in the pic. I still have nightmares re Carlton bushes.


Interested in your thoughts on this 2woody....
