Great progress Ian, glad the upper pivot bolt wasn't seized in either the chassis bush or the wishbone bush, that can be difficult to dismantle in rust sets in. Good solution to sort the seized ARB bolt stuck on the shock bush! Did you consider upgrading the upper wishbone to polybush or is that just too harsh on the Island?

Had more fun with the bottom inner bolt, as the inside of the bush was rusted on, on one side.
I’m quite happy with the old bushes and i think as you say the Island roads are like a constant rally stage!
Just awaiting on the POR15 top coat for UV protection, postal strike.
As a side note, its a good idea to have gloves on when painting POR15 as its seams to be almost solvent proof.
Hi Ian,
Some people have reverted back to, or prefer the rubber Beta strut tops.
'Might be best to hang onto the old parts until you've tried it on the road.
These old cars do like a bit of refurb every few decades, don't they
Is that a cleaned-up and repainted Beta spring still, or did you get new springs on the Gaz struts?
