Hi James and a happy new year to you.

As to your request, I Know that Micks Southern GT chassis, in the ZF option, is a very similar design and uses two such bushes. Whether they are exactly the same dimensions or not I don't know but it is worth asking as he probably has them in stock.

Hello mate and I wish you a prosperous one too.
I will give Mick a call.
Thanks a lot.

James,
Talk to Mick and then get back if necessary and I'll go over to Hughs and sort them out.

David,
Thanks again.
I have a source for some of the Silentbloc originals but like everything with these cars, it's time.
I hope that you are well.

This particular Silentbloc vibration damper is long out of production.
But I now have the OEM part drawings (dated 1941) for them and have ordered a batch to be made in the UK by the original manufacturer.

Our custom made ZF crown wheel and pinions are ready.
Many thanks to David Morton for the loan of his parts to make these.

Sometimes you get a bargain.
I called in to a car boot sale for the first time yesterday and found this for a fiver - I'm still stunned.
I also got a couple of mint 4/1966 relays for a tenner.

Frank,
I know and we have also made a few experimental ones ourselves but I much prefer the real piece if I can get one.

Jim, you're right, James is a GT40 Bloodhound, can smell a part more than a mile away, and track it down in an hour:) never ceases to amaze me. Well done James.

You are a star, my friend!
After seeing the Dzus fastener tool in another thread, and this one here, you keep amazing me. When I grew up...

All the best, mate

re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars

Greetings,

I also am in need of these rear crossmember bushings, I am new to this forum and as such am unable to send PM's (although with this post I should be able to!) JimmyMac can you please PM me with how I might be able to get a hold of these.

Kind regards,
Steve Ott
