Good morning All
Trying to purchase the poly bushes that fit the wishbones on the original Locost book by Ron Champion.
From memory they took a 3/8 bolt and around 20mm in diameter to fit a 25mm tube.
Hunted high and low for them with no luck.
thanks
Iwan
These by any chance ?

I believe the locost and Mk suspensions sizes are different,
on my Locost, as per the original book, I bought a kit that was from a triumph herald, heres a couple of threads about the conversion, that may
help

I've put some Nylon bushes and crush tubes on ebay. These may work. Look under `Locost suspension bush set - nylon' and `Locost crush tube'
Many thanks for your help but none the wiser to getting a set, have sent an e-mail to Flo-flex but as of yet no reply.
Will give them a ring in the morning, but if somebody does come accross a suplier please let me know.
thanks
12 or so years ago I bought two bush sets from Robin Hood.
Then they were 25mm o/d x 14mm i/d for m10 bolts. ( crush tubes 14 x 10 = 2mm wall )
I think that if I needed replacements I'd make them or get them made to suit.
