I need some bushes............( and now I have them!!!!)
I was looking underneath my car last night checking for the dreaded rust and I noticed that my bushes on the front rollbar are fcucked. This would be an MOT fail I believe so,
Where can I get some from? I have no idea. Are they available from Ford or will I have to get some polybushes, if so where from as I've never seen a 16i kit?
Help me

is'nt the 16i kit - the same as a S1 kit ???
they may be still availble from ford - if not a "copy part" - or Polybushes

There are two types apparently, there was a change in '83 and there is a difference according to Ford. I need to give them my chassis number to confirm which mine is but apparently only 1 of the two types is available from Ford.
I hope its mine....

Got some bushes from ford on Saturday!!!!! My car is the later type ' June 83 ' and they hold them in stock. I bought a couple of sets as they were only £3.31.
