dblenk Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Just read about this kit which means you dont have to replace the originals and remove half the car anyone done this or other little tricks to fix a bit of movement and pass the MOT cheers David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kenrow Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 This is a common fix here in the States. Many leave the existing bushes in place and just augment with his set. Best to go through email: lipp04@yahoo.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblenk Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 Hi All i emailed Art (Arthur) $60 to England for the kit using paypal i will be ordering fitting my overdrive wiring was a right pain so cant be bothered to strip out all that **** again so this fix looks great cheers David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z320 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 (edited) That price for an individual solution is absolutely OK! But why not do a proper repair during a restoration? This is not much more work. And the hudge effort with the Jubilee-clip I never understood. Ciao, Marco Edited January 21 by Z320 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 The rubber UJ can be supplied in two versions - one has no counter bored holes and uses Hex Head bolts Item # 65 HERE The later version has counter bored holes and takes Allen bolts Either work. The jubilee clip has always concerned me as it is so easy to align the bolts into the coupling clamp - with the socket/allen key on the head you can now tilt the bolt and in it goes.

dblenk Posted January 21 Author Report Share Posted January 21 Hi Yes when stripped for a resto i would do it properly and use the upgraded bushes i am restoring my 5 at the moment so that what will be done like i said getting all that harness etc etc through the steering etc etc when i did the overdrive switch was a ball ache so taking an easy option hahaha Roger never had a issue with the rubber UJ having said that que the swearing etc when it doesnt go together deep breath and patience always works haha David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
