    Yes of course, all four will be done. All four = 1 set. A prototype of the backmost buchings will be done at the end of the week or the beginning of next.

        Got the prototypes made of the backmost buchings, they got really stiff.







        I now have 13 orders. I don't want to take many anymore because I have to weld those my self, and I don't have too much leisure. Say max. 16 orders for now.

            Got confirmed from the machining shop that all is good to go. They have to order a full 6 meter bar of the aluminium, so they couldn't drop the price anymore. I need to collect the payments before they start to machine the buchings, I'll send you PM.

            The set includes: 4 aluminium buches(2 for one hole), 2 steel flange buchings(hot zinc coated) and 2 M12x100 10.9 bolts.

            The price for the full set is 120 euro + postage.

                  Actually you would be the 18:th. Got another request before yours... If someone drops of the deal then you pehaps can get a set. I also maybe do a few extra sets, but I'm not sure yet. I'll inform you about it.

                      On the second picture, is the new bushing on the left and the stock on the right? Do you just change from the stock bushing to this steel flange bushing or does it work like a adapterplate or have I missed the whole point?

                        Yes, you just swap the orginal bushing with the solid steel flange.


                        The other two bushings look like this:



                        ...and you swap them to alu bushings like these:

                          Interresting, but i saw that you filled your quote, and as im allergic to noise i believe these are nothing for me and my daily cruiser... but better handling is better handling.. hmm

                            It has been reported that the increase in noise and vibration in only minor, if nothing. You still have the rubber bushings on the swaybar, control arms etc...

                              You wrote that earlier in the thread and for normal people they will probably work

                              Looking forward to when they are on more peoples cars and to hear there reactions. Any change you will be making more of these in the future?

                                It's possible that I will do a second batch in near future, if there is enough interest.
