You misunderstand what Jonathan is asking for Melinx!  What he wants is a set of these K-Mac bushes for his Carlton...   Regal imported a few of these but I'm not sure if they would have anymore available Jonathan?? HTH!  |

You misunderstand what Jonathan is asking for Melinx! Yes, I realised that shortly after posting but left it there anyway as a price comparison because I bet that the poly bushes (if anyone knows a source) are radically pricier  |

Roughly £120.
Look on Powerflex or Superflex websites - I also think there's one called Tiger? in Scandinavia??
And yes, they do wear, but nowhere near as much as the standard rubber ones.
On an every day car, they'll last three/four times longer.

Do you really need bushes that are going to last 30/40 years on our cars |

You're not going to give Regal Autosport a ring on:- 02380 558636 to find out if they happen to have any of the Carlton/Senator K-Mac poly bushes left at £75 then Jonathan??  |

I just bought a pair of those Mel - just waiting for a break in the crappy weather to get them fitted.
I am changing the whole rear subframe - the diff was noisy, the donuts were shot, the handbrake cable was stretched, the gmax springs had settled waay too far and I have some new shocks to fit so I thought I might as well do it all in one hit!

Sounds like a bit of hard graft  If you already have those particular donuts, I'm curious as to whether they're the same aluminium inner as the ones I bought some time back ? they look as if they may not be ! http://totalcarlton.com/forums/index.php/topic,9752.msg78410.html#msg78410 |

Ah well, they will undoubtedly last quite a few years anyway, if they can be well sealed against water they'll last even longer |
