I am looking for some poly bushes for the bottom wishbones for my locost. They need to have a bore dia on 22mm.
Any ideas where I can get them from???

ore normally refers to an internal diameter, are definately looking for a poly bush with a 22mm hole in it? or are you looking for for a polly bush to fit inside a 22mm hole?

Not trying to be a smart arse just can visualise what kind of bush you are looking for.

rallydesign have most of the old fashioned standard ones. You might have to phone them as their catalogue doesn't list the dimensions.

Sorry, didn't really make that clear did I??

They need to fit into a tube with a 22mm internal diameter, with an overall length of about 40mm.

The original book chassis used Triumph rubber bushes which were 22mm from Dolomite or Spitfire.

New Polybushes are 28-29mm, I dont think you will find any Poly bushes to fit 22mm, only Rubber ones (if your lucky).

The Polybushes have become the standard replacing the old rubber styles (as the Chris Gibbs design).

You may need to use different tubes to manufacture your wishbones to take advantage of the superior Poly bushes.

I cant recall what size they where exactly, but might be 22, but i got mine from westfeild direct as they where as cheap as anywhere else. Quality seams fine.

Poly bushes to fit a Triumph Herald are 22mm O/D, I know because thay are what I used on my build. HTh Ray
