The 'E' Type Forum

Ive just been congratulating myself on having successfully pressed a new large rubber bush into the radius arm using only a vice.....worked very well......only to discover that the two rubber holes arent aligned longitudinally as they should be but at a random 45deg ish....grrrr
Am I likely to encounter any problems if I leave it like this?

Thanks

David

For competition work they usually re-orientate the bushes by 90° to stiffen the suspension but they usually do that to both. If one is 45° out make sure the other side is the same. No harm will come of having them both at that angle.

+1 to Heuer's point . IIRC David Marks of the JEC suggests that 45 degrees is a good compromise

Oh thats great.....so instead of going out to the workshop and having to hack out my new bush Im simply going to open a bottle of red

Thank you very much for your replies.

best
