While we're on the subject of dodgy bushes I bought some flo flex alloy rear drop links and the tolerances were all over the place. I ended up using a 3/8" bolt as an M10 wouldn't fit and having to ease open the mounting brackets to squeeze the links in. Which turned a minor mod into a pain in the backside.

Ive got a few from these http://prothane.com/

I didnt use the gear selector bush as mine is a 6 speed, and the front arb bushes came with my new bars, so everything else has gone on with no issues.

So another product / seller to avoid

Now the hunt for proper bushes to get my car back on the road !!!!
I went with group n on mine from icp. You also need to get the stopper washers that go underneath the bush/mount as the original won't have any rubber left on it most probably. Ideally save any grief and get them pressed in, literally a 2 minute neat job on a press. Most fabrication engineering places would do this for a small fee or a drink.
