Spare Bits Wanted...

23 Jul 2009, 8:01am
From buying Tony RS2000s bag of bits, i have stage 1 and some of stage 2!

I am missing all bushes, balljoints etc

If you have any leftovers, let me know. There is a credit crunch going on you know!

The bushes have a habit of wearing out under stress so if you have to buy a new set, a better quality plastic may be a good option, I know Tony was heading in that direction although i think he had identified they are not an off-the-shelf size!
I have a 1/2 set of spares you could borrow to get you building but I would want them replace as spares for my car when it gets to the point of being stressed.

I also have some ball joints I do not need as I have changed my rear uprights and fitted all the same type.

I think you will find that there are differrent sizes but I am sure someone will know what the Motor Factors need to identify them.

I also have the gear change assemble complete (cables, rods and shaft)and a clutch cable I have no use for, set of 14" wheels, exhaust manifold, heater box and controls and a shed load of other Rover stuff, full PAS and rack, servo and master cylinder, pedel box to mention a few....

One of my business neighbours here in gloucester does CNC Plastics.
Company is called Rochling Engineering Plastics Ltd! (Funnily Enough!)

If i can get a set of bushes, i will see if i can get them made and get a cost.

The other thing i thought was to press in Sealed Cartridge Bearings?

Any ideas from the panel?

I could get them too you at no cost next weekend as we will be at a track day with my son (31st Hullavington). He could then drop them off as he lives in your area.

If that's soon enough let me know.

I am probably going to to with something from HiSpec Brakes for mine.

I have the donor car ones for now, but will go with something bigger later.

If anyone wants a hispec kit, i will work out what trade discount i can get, but from past experience you only get a good discount for 5 kits or more.
