cheapskate

hmm, expensive bushes vs cheap stickers. Maybe the Marketing department of PowerFlex don't need the help

Do Whiteline sell poly bushes seperately? or maybe they'll supply you with better alternatives.

Unless you're a seller (ala TSL, Scoobysport, Scoobymania, etc..) it's gonna be difficult convincing them.

Perhaps one of them would make an admiral donation to the cause?

I found powerflex unreasonable too!!

I have talked to a company called Polybush (They make stuff for Landrovers) and they were willing to have a go, as long as I provide samples of all the bushes. I have not collected them all yet! You are welcome to have copies of the emails and the example bushes to see if you can take it further! (As long as I can have a set of bushes at a sensible price - I don't currently have time to proceed at any great speed on this one.)

Thumbs up

David, in Demon Tweeks there's Whiteline and some other group called SFN motorsport which are distributed by TAS.

Then there's Superflex that Rally Design sell, they're available in two compounds, Polysport and Polyrace...

I got a pricelist from Whiteline (in Oz) some time ago, and the prices seemed very keen (given the exchange rate).

We used to turn up our own suspension bushes for the racing saloons from "Tufnell" which is a very strong and hard wearing material. Easy to turn and make accurate bushes from but you need a lathe of course. It is as good as a rose joint.
