Wisbech Engineering Bushes
Badger_McLetcher - 28/7/11 at 12:53 AM

I've been looking at what to use for my lower wishbones, and was slightly put off by the price most places are charging for for poly bushes (more than equivalent rod ends!)- until I found Wisbech Engineering. If I've done my calculations correctly they are under half the price of Superflex bushes?!?
However with my usual timing I seem to have picked their two week break to find them, so it's going to be at least a week before I can phone them. Don't suppose anyone knows the dimensions of these items so I can finish the design of the wishbones?
Cheers,
Badger

I used bushes for landrovers, You can easily spin these down in a lathe so lower shock bushes, panhard bushes etc.

Have a look somewhere like bearmach.

Cheers for the replies guys
Absolutely spot on NigeEss, don't suppose you have the housing and crush tube too?
Mark, I could do that but for the price of the Wisbech ones it isn't worth the effort! Thanks for the suggestion though
Thanks for the offer Wombat, will bear it in mind since it's a bit of a trek for me since I'm in Bristol!

Have they moved from the back of the house on lynn rd ? sign is still up.

I got mine there.

Crush tubes are about 38mm wide and have a 1/2" bore.

Ah spot on mate. Me being me had found that thread and yet somehow managed to miss the pic with the dimensions in it
