Poly Subframe bushes

[JackieFan]

Thought I'd move this out of Richards how too thread before the good information in there get's flooded.

Thinking about getting the old MMR Subframe bushes copied. I saw that Richard used Nylon to get his made up, does anyone know if this stuff with do the job?

EDIT - I have realised my stupidity in the title of the thread, no need to point it out

im so tempted to buy a laith and make these myself and all the other various ones we need on the s12, would deffo be worth it in the long run, tis a pain as my last work had all laiths and stuff to do this, too bad they went under

ill ask my boss if he can find a laith and ill go halves with him on it.

worth a shot.

i deffo need a set of bushes whatever we do

I'm sure I posted a reply to this yesterday, was it removed?

[JackieFan]

I've seen that reply this morning, not sure where it's gone.

Had a PM go missing too

EDIT - Infact the reply I posted about going to an engineering company which also has gone walkies

[JackieFan]

Just spoke to an Engineering firm got to get hold of some Nylon rod but their labour rate is only £25 per hour. I've got to get one set made up first but once I've done that I'll have a cost per set for you guys. Should work out quite affordable

[umpkin]

thanks for doing this, esp as you have a set, you are going out of your way seeing as you dont need them done yourself.

cheers m8.

No prob's

Just a quick update guys, I've ordered a small amount of Nylon 66 for this to test the engineering company out. Just waiting for it to be delivered.

[umpkin]

nice one m8 big thumbs up!!!

[JackieFan]

Another update for you, the Nylon turned up this morning, I'll aim to get the first ones turned by Saturday if I can (might have to leave them with the Engineers if they are busy)

Also as far as I can work out these bushes are offset in such a way as to bring the subframe closer to the shell and reduce some of the horrid rear camber. How effective it is though remains to be seen but every little helps I guess
