I got nylon ones made up from a guy on ebay who makes quite a few bits for locosts and haynes roadsters, complete set for the front cost about £30 I think. Seem very well made, no doubt someone will be along in a minute to say that nylon is rubbish though! Offhand, I think it was Dave Oxley....

Try Wisbech engineering, i think they supply GTS with their bushes, if their bushes are as good as the rest of their engineering work, should be ok

I think most of the manufacturers buy from Wisbech - they are very cheap.

so the wisebech ones work out at about 4.74 each if you buy the inner and outer sleeves and bush halves.

Anyone got a price on the procomp ones?

The Wisebech one are hard and not suitable for de dion, live axles mountings, also the width of the metal tube is narrow compared to the others available and it's a very tight squeeze getting a 25mm tube welded properly to it.

Cheers
