Not what you're looking for, but I have - Whiteline KSR202Steering - rack & pinion mount bushing
Brand new, not fitted as I don't fancy another geo

Any use to you?


I did fit WLine Gearbox - positive shift kit bushing - W0584 - I would highly recommend

I contacted a supplier about these and the front bushes as a kit and was thinking about ordering a few sets would do it if there was enough interest. They do both 5 speed and 6 speed kits, only the front bushes differ.

The front bushes are easy to get in the UK the rear support is not.

Ok guys had a further reply almost straight away.
Taking into account the import fees and delivery to the UK and then onward postage to everyone. It would work out around £70 for a front and rear set. The company I have contacted have these in stock, they are not branded Kartboy but are identical. there are various tuning companies all branding the same item. Kartboy, beatrush Cobb etc. The front bushes are avail in 5 speed or 6 speed sizes.

The B@M 5 speed shifter is ok. I had a 6 speed one on the RA it was useless the reverse slot didnt work properly and jammed the car in reverse during a mapping session and the shift was horrible had it on the car for the mapping session then threw it in the bin but bushes still work out cheaper.
