Feeler - Alloy Subframe bushes GB

[lind4hl]

i think most people were interested in the big ones? cause the small ones you can already buy?

[Rusty]

Yeah, I am, offset fronts for ABY & rears. Have you seen how 034 do the offset ones?

Here we go, linky. They use a triangle file to make a grove in the SF to stop it rotating...

i still need more people that want them before i give him the go ahead .does anyone have avant type bush i can copy ?

[Rusty]

Problem with not having them located in rotation is that there's not much stopping the whole subframe moving other than transmission mounts I suppose. Be good to get the dowel holes as per 034, would help with orientation too.

Sorry, I'm still waiting for a price from my machine shop. Although from what I can remember paying before, it won't be any cheaper than what Jamil is quoting, if it is I'll let you know.

I agree, but the problem i can see with the 034 type dowel is that the subframe is signifantly weakened around the mount and the grooves could create risers for cracking to start. could you not have a dowel on the chassis side of the bush that located into a hole drilled in the chassis next to the bolt hole?

[Rusty]

Yeah, not too sure about it TBH the more I look at it... Hmmmm

[volcano rs]

i don't see a reason why the subframe would move if bolted tight enough .
