Wishbone tube?

I've been looking for the 33.7 x 2.6 tube for the wishbones, the closest I've found is 33.7 x 2.5. Is it reasonable to assume that 0.1mm absence should be ok, considering it's going to have a poly bush inside it?

I highly doubt much in the way of calculations were done to get the original size, 0.1mm is irrelevant

I used landrover series III and 90/110/defender steering arms for my lower bones, most 4x4 dealers simply replace the whole item as the Track rod ends are rusted solid so these are just scrap.

Did you measure the other one with paint on it?





Thanks

Are you talking about these very hard to find bush tubes that can be supplied by any body making Haynes Roadster wishbones, I've only been making parts for the past 5 years so I guess I'm a fairly well kept secret as an unknown supplier....

Yep, I am aware of those parts, but I'm also aware of the price of buying them individually compared to just buying a length of tube...

And I'm also still waiting for my MX5 diff cover by the way...

How many bush tubes do you want? I'll throw them in with the diff cover...

I'm after a full set of 22, but I'm sure that will leave you out of pocket. I've seen the message on Ebay by the way, the mockup is fine for me. If it does the job then I'm happy.
