Not sure I really need them, but I'm happy to make up the numbers!

the bushes on the rack that i took off of my mk1 are different in the way that one is in 2 halves and the bracket is more pointed and the other bush is in a recess and in 1 piece.

i would have said they look the same as the s13 kit with lhs and rhs?

If they are different then that counts me out.

Well I'll leave it until I check whether both are the same size or not. Maybe the driver side one is slightly larger on the PAS rack?

s13eater · #16 07-09-2007, 09:52

i'll go and check for you in a min.

i just had a quick look at my old rack, and the bushes are different, the pass side one seems to just be a circle shape, while the drivers one is angled upwards a bit....pic might show what i mean......

and one of my new rad

Ah ok, that suggests that the S13 kit should work. Look the same shape to me.

If using a manual rack you would need 2 LHS bushes and clamps

Nice DB power rad there mate

i had a quick look on club-s12 last night, and they seem to think that the s13 ones are too thin?

they use some 'window weld' stuff which seems to be some kind of polyurethane paste which sets hard, they make a mould or summit.....they also fill their rear subframe mounts with it. not sure if we get a similar product over here?
