Hi guys, can anyone recommend where i can get replacement rose joints for my lower front wishbones? Im giving my MNR a bit of a spruce up and want to
get new joints after the wishbones are powdercoated.

Look for "Spherical Bearing" rather than Rose joint first take it out and measure it and buy the best quality you can find --- suppliers are the usual suspects I would try McGill Motorsport first but I'm a cheap skate.
MNR?
Or http://www.brammer.co.uk/ who have branches in most towns.
Brammer will be one of the cheapest and where a lot of other suppliers will be sourcing from.

Cheers guys, I've just got a load of stuff from mcgills so will give them a try in the morning..... Failing that I will try Brammer. I've
had a look and they have a branch in Paisley so it's not far away.
I've emailed Chris at MNR, but was just checking for any other obvious places.
Thanks for al the help!
How do you measure the size of the spherical bearing, is it the hole diameter?
Ignore my previous post.... Now sorted!
Try Force Seven Bearings.....nothing to do with cars or Sevens but do every bearing and belt ive ever needed for work.

Cheers Kris, hopefully sorted now, ive ordered them from Mcgills, just hope they are the right size!
Does anyone know how easy it should be to remove the camber adjusters from the front upper wishbones, are they threaded in to the wishbone?
Ive removed the rose joint but the camber adjuster seems to be really tight in. Im wary about trying to knock them out as they Re made of aluminium
and i dont know how well they would stand up to it.
I've just replaced all the rose joints, and spherical bearings on my MNR. I fitted boots over the Rosejoints too to help protect them. The spherical bearing in the lower front wishbone was a metric m16 spherical bearing, which seemed strange to use, as everything else is imperial, and you can get a very similar bearing that has a slightly smaller outer diameter (32mm vs 38mm of the metric M16), but is much easier to get hold of.
Cheers for the help Davey, I had thought about fitting boots over the rose joints but have already spent a fair bit on rosé joints, bushes, nuts bolts
and powder coating next..... Why I never thought to do all this over the winter months when I wasn't getting ready to put the car back on the
road, I will never know.....!
Looks like I've possibly ordered the wrong spherical bearings then :-(
I ordered these from mcgill's.....
