Default Does anyone have a spare front suspension bush

Having decided to stick with the original Marlin supplied bushes (ex - Fiesta) I removed them from the original wishbones to fit into the new "uprated" ones. However I managed to slightly nadger one of them. It is probably serviceable but if I could locate a replacement it would be better.

So - do any of you guys who have gone the polybush root have any of the original ones left?

Cheers

Robin

Luverly smell, though.

I suspect everyone else had the same problem. I used Vaseline when fitting mine and they came out in one piece - or three of them did.....

Think I'll do a search on Ebay for a few days and see if anything comes up. You seem to be able to find most things there!

Cheers

My originals went back to Marlin with the old wishbones.
I have seen some on eBay, so they do come up from time to time.

Thanks guys
