Now I want to fit them.


I can see how to fit the bushes into the rollbar clamps at the front. Just a case of undoing the bolts and replaceing old with new.

What about the bushes from track controll arm to rollbar? Are these hard to do or it it jus the same, take off the nut ( sounds easier than it is I know ) and slide the new ones into place? or is it gonna be a bit more complicated?

matt - you've got it right

the old ones will be a big to get out,you bay have to cut them out !!!!

the new ones - put in with copper slip,easier this way - they will be tight to do,may need a big hammer and block of wood !!!
