I'm looking for a source of simple poly bushes so I can make a couple of engine and gearbox mounts, all I want are split poly bushes, inner and outer tubes. perhaps some tabs?
I seem to be a bit out of touch with sourcing bits and bobs these days, once, everything was a phone call or a quick drive away, now its all on line, and EBay algorithms are s-it This morning, I put in DIY poly bush kits, and it come back with 2 bush sets 100s of bits for Audis etc, and 50 Houses in Australia????

I've used Superpro 1276 bushes for over 30 years, for engine, diff, gearbox mounts. They are TVR suspension bushes, and fit into 1 1/4 x 3.2 tube'

The Superpro's don't go granular with age, and I've got some here that are at least 20 yrs old, and as good as new. I've been to the factory in Brisbane, and was told why their bushes don't degrade, but have forgotten...it was 2002! A car I built in 1988 using Superpro bushes is still going strong on them.

I make my own centre tubes from Delrin or stainless steel, depending on application. Superpro can do the same for you.

You don't need massive 12mm bolts anywhere on a locost, and I use 10mm on engine mounts.
