Hi all,
We used
Nylatron, yet another lubricated Nylon. I remember the aftermarket 'uprated' bellcrank bushes were so deformed that I was not happy. (These were the blue, purple or red aftermarked items, i can't remember the colour or who's product they were)
The Nylatron was easy to cut on the lathe, but getting it to size was hit and miss. If you end up trying to take off too little, the cutting tool slipped over the work piece surface and cut nothing, Or it bit in and cut off to much.
After a while as written in the
P6V8 Blog the bushes developed stiction, the car sounded like a Caribbean steel drum. I found that liberal Red Grease is answer. I had made lub points in the bushes, which I had tried all sorts of lubricants until I found the Red Grease worked. In the photo the little bolt is in the lub hole.
As for fitting coil overs, I sketched out a plan on the back of something around the same time. I over came the space issue, like you the car is lowered and there is not enough room, without going trick. I'll see if I can find it.
Regards,
Gavin.
