Greeting from a long time P6 fan

Hi all,
I've been meaning to join for a while as I have a long term love for these cars and will probably never be without one, but finally got around to joining after desperately looking for a new steering idler for a LHD model in the UK, and my search brought me here. If I can find one anywhere I think it will be here!
I have lots of information and tales of wonder and agony to share from a lifetime of owning P6s so I'm looking forward to getting involved in the community as well.

Best wishes, Steven
 
Welcome
I recently had an idler re bushed by my local engine builders, they inserted 3 bronze bushes and then reamed to suit. It was around £100 which I thought was good value.

There were NOS ones for sale a while back. I got one for £110 (LHD) but I saw them for £325 a month or two back.

It is my understanding that both the idler and steering box have no bush and the bearing is machined directly into the casing. In which case fitting a bronze bush would actually be a better solution than the original.

I've got two LHD idlers sitting on the conservatory floor, as I've been having a clearout. Send me a PM if you're interested..
 
Thanks for the welcome all.
Unfortunately my unit has gone missing after a break in at my workshop so reconditioning isn't an option. Chris I've replied in the other thread. Thanks!
