I have parted off the excess b4. Cheers John Title: Re: Front spring bushes Post by: FC427 on October 28, 2009, 10:28:20 PM Thanks Guys I thought the OD was OK was just not sure of the ID ...I can part them off no problems ...I have a spare front bolt somewhere if I could only remember where so I can check measure it ...Since the shackels rubbers are the same front and rear I guess I could just measure a rear shackle to get the measurement :o :o......FC427.....

Cheers John Title: Re: Front spring bushes Post by: FC427 on October 29, 2009, 09:52:17 AM Hi John Thanks fc427ute@gmail.com just found a front bolt, and the EH bushes measure at OD in 0.998 ID 0.500 so ID is good does anyone know the ID of the spring eye ??? ??? measured a shackle rubber but not very accurate .......FC427......
Title: Re: Front spring bushes Post by: FC427 on November 02, 2009, 09:42:41 PM Fitted one side of the modified EH front bush to car and worked out great the bush had to be turned down in overall length to 2.290 and the piece that presses in to the spring 2.000 ..I think these will outlast the standard shackle rubbers by years .......FC427.....
