What are the current recommend droplinks - think the MV6 has eaten a set of those as well. Still, 167k, can't complain...

I got the full pretzel wishbones, droplinks and rear doughnuts from Allgerman.  Will rake out the cost but not too outrageous...

I have some to stick on too, back end is all over the place.  Job for this week I think, first though I have to build myself a puller.
in case it helps, i used a £15 job from halfords, it works differantly from the special tool described in the book of lies in as much as it clips on the bush edge and pushes through the centre to pull the bush out, meaning the centre bolt needs fitting loosely for it to push on.

book of lies shows the special tool iirc, if you whan to make the puller, may aswell make the correct one?

or bring it over here if you prefer?


That's a kind offer, how are you fixed for this week?

By the time the ale is flowing, who cares where we collapse.  JohnyCBoy often doesn't make it as far as his tent ;D ;D ;D

He only makes it anywhere because gravity takes over. ;D

i like thier donuts, the void holes where semi filled in on TB's. Not sure if it was deliberate or a moulding issue but wondered about replacing my genuines with them, may be a little firmer?
