Subject: Re: De Dion / Transverse bars Sorry Christian, I can't visualise the bushes you mean.My recent bill of parts includes 4 new off the shelf DB4 bushes - part number not quoted but about £50 each plus VAT from ASD - which were then modified (but in what way am not sure). |

Subject: Re: De Dion / Transverse bars Hi, yes easy for me when I spent a day removing it all! I think those must be the bushes which connect the trailing arms to the de Dion tube - there are four in total and they are very simular to the front upper wishbone bushes used in DB5's. They would would need to be reamed out in order to make them fit on the bolt (which connects the trailing arm to the de Dion tube), the alternative is to use Polybushes and ream them - that may be what yours now has... |

Subject: Re: De Dion / Transverse bars That sounds great, you must be very happy. It's a big job - I think you had the best person available to do the work as well! I'm progressing well with mine - I'm slightly stuck at removing the trailing arms from the transverse torsion bars, this involves a blow torch, a puller, a club hammer etc etc...fun  |

Subject: Re: De Dion / Transverse bars I guess that's why I had a fairly substantial labour bill. I was told it was a couple of days to disassemble |
