Nobbyc Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Problems fitting upgraded bush kit. The "poly bushes are 20 thou larger than the holes in the drag link, is there an easy way to install. The pins are loose in the bush but assume squashing the bush in the link takes up the slack or is there something wrong before i start. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Which kit did you buy? I have fitted both the Moss Delrin bushed kits and the Revington bronze bushed kits. The Delrin ones, once fitted were snug and after 20 miles or so were easy moving. The bronze items were smooth and easy to move from first fitment. No force was required to assemble the pin in the bushes in either type nor any reaming. They are a dog to get to bits in the future so I would consider miling a flat either side of the taper eye to get an extractor to sit on.

Nobbyc Posted August 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 Managed to draw the bushes (white Delrin) in with a bolt, heavy washer and spacers. I x pin was a very nice firm push fit but the other will need reaming out to fit the pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodbr Posted August 2, 2020 Report Share Posted August 2, 2020 +1 with Pete I would be wary of reaming out the arm unless you can assure accuracy. Also make sure that the pin is a good fit with lube and it eases off very quickly. Use a vice to push bush in as you have more control to keep it square on.
