identifying a suspension bush on an Avon
I have an early Avon chassis which has the rubber type suspension bushes, but there is no mention in the Jim Dudley book what they are from. There
not the triumph/locost ones as they are bigger and have a metal sleeve around the rubber. Dimensions are 26.5mm dia. 35mm wide and have a 1/2"
bolt hole. Any suggestions or tables i might be able to look it up on? Thanks

Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

If built following the jim full of crap book then no. I would be interested to know myself what they are cos from tiger they cost a fortune.
I ended up manufacturing my own. As yet untested but they can be no worse than the dolomite bushes.

I have 12 of these metalastic bushes with 10 1/2" HT matching bolts and nylock nuts to suit the avon supplied by tiger racing, somewhere I may
have the other 2 missing nut and bolts. I didn't find out what they were from at the time either.
I paid a lot for these by memory, they have picked up slight oxidation of some part of the zinc plating, not rust but are new and unused, if your
interested make a decent offer, if your not fine
Why I bought 12 I don't know, not enough to do a full car and too many for just the front end!
Cheers
