Bush required
AntonUK - 16/2/14 at 07:20 PM

Hi All,
I need a new bush for one end of my Panard Rod.

OD is 1 1/32"
ID is 1/2"

Ive had a look round the internet and cannot find anything suitable... any ideas?

What material?
I could probably knock one out in delrin in work, but being a plastic it won't take any out-of-plane bending, however not sticky or squeaky

Thanks, but it doe need a bit of movement. so rubber or poly is what I need.

Im getting the feeling I'm going to struggle with this one.

Hi there. I've got a 1 1/16" OD metalastic bush you can have. You might reduce its outer dia to suit. 1/2" ID. 35mm overall length. Looks like this...

Thanks, it appears they do list the correct item...

hopefully they are cheaper than the other possibility which is a bush from a caterham at £12 plus postage

The 1 1/16" ones are the same as I used in my striker arms

Quick update:

A 1 1/16 bush was sourced as multiple bits of research pointed towards it. Fitted today, twas really tight to fit but did go in with the help of mr vice.

Thanks for the help all.
