Subject: Metalastic Bushes LG45 Saloon Restoration
Hello everyone. My LG45 Saloon restoration is coming along nicely but I have a dilemma. The original metalastic bushes look pretty good and aren’t cracked or perished at all but they are 77 years old and haven’t been doing anything for the last 30 years. I don’t know if they will degrade quickly once I get the car into regular use again and so am unsure whether to replace them. I suspect that new ones will be of inferior quality but may be better than original ones that are so old. Obviously now is the time to replace them if I am going to.
Does anyone have any experience of which way to go? I am sure someone has been here before and has a view.
