Well, with an improvised lathe (a drill in a vice) i put a 1mm shallow taper on the end of each bush to help them in, and success! At least partially. The threaded rod i bought for this purpose keeps stripping, and i have each bush part way in. I will be picking up a high tensile bolt this week and some matching big washers (one i initially used stacked 4 high ended up like cones) to get them the rest of the way in.

Thanks guys for your suggestions. When i have the chassis painted I will post up some picks of it and the assembly. Then I have to get in touch with mike about the kit!
