'D' cups.

[TR Paul]

Hi Chaps, as some of you might recall, I've recently been gassing on about a rear end 'clonk', on TRoy,my beloved 1970 TR6 pi. I've now traced the problem (hopefully!) to the rearmost diff mounting bushes, where the steel tube insert has parted company with the rubber portion of the bush. Obviously the solution to this problem is to replace the aforementioned bushes, which I'm planning to do.Also, I'm considering purchasing a pair of 'Racetorations' cup style washers to replace the standard plain washers, thus giving improved support & location (& hopefully increased longevity) to the mounting bushes. If Racetorations publicity is to be believed, a combination of standard rubber bushes & their 'Diff cups' should offer the advantages of poly bushes, with the 'comfort'(!) & low stress (to the mounting pins) of rubber ones. However, they are quite expensive, at £90+p&p per pair.

Has anybody used these items? Do they offer genuine advantages, or are they just something else to empty the wallet,& boast about in the pub?

As ever, your opinions & advice will be much appreciated,

Cheers, Paul.
