Slight Bo**ocks moment

[ProtoTipo]

Don't quote me on any of this, I'm just trying to jog your memory Phil.

There are two sizes of Elan bush used. I would say these are the two Spyder parts you need:

Inboard End: Elan & +2	01SV003	£8.70
Outboard End: Elan & +2	01SV004	£7.30

On an older Transformer/Hawk, the large bush is used on the inner end of the rear 'A' arm, as well as the front of the rear trailing/tie bar/tension struts and the inner end of the front lower arms. I think the inner end of the top front wishbone too (but the ones I have here is latest spec and upgraded).
The large bush ID fits onto a 1/2" UNF bolt. The OD looks to be 1.063" or 27mm

The smaller one is just the outer end of the rear 'A' arm (2 for each arm) and the ID fits onto a 7/16" UNF bolt. The OD looks to be 0.87" or 22mm

I've got the large bush loose, but not the small one, but have an 'A' arm loose with all bushes fitted.

It's ok, Guy's ownership is a lot longer than mine.

I read some debate the other day on Ferrarichat, as to whether a Ferrari 308's OE track rod ends were BMC or not.
Maybe british car parts aren't so out of place on an Italian car?
I know that a Lamborghini Miura uses a Lucas windscreen wiper motor, rack and wheelbox.
