Uprated bushes

[shaun1.6ghia]

So I fully flo flex polyurethane bushed my escort for a extremely good price but now I am looking for some one off bushes for my next project and none of the bush companies say the sizes of bushes just sets for each car.

I am looking for a set of 6 bushes for leaf spring setup.

After measuring the sizes are 2inch wide and 25mm across with a hole 12mm across.

I have emailed flo flex and super flex with no reply so just wondered if anyone knew where to get some at a reasonable price.

Any info would be great

If I could find a part of another car that has a similar size bush I could order just that part.

What is the size of a mk1 escort rear shackle bush? Or shackle to chassis?

Any help guys

Thanks escortmk14door but what is the thickness/diameter? Of the bush/hole?

Maybe the bush that goes between shackle and chassis rail at the rear

Thank you hugely, I'm thinking the shackle to chassis rail rear bush will be the same (I hope so as it'll save me nearly £100)

Just the diameter of the bush/hole in the chassis rail please

Thank you again

Ok mate, just come in from the garage and seen this so went back out and dug out some chassis to spring shackle bushes off my old Mk2 Escort Estate, i presume all escort ones would be the same. Measurements are in mm by the way.

 

 

 

 

So a bit too small for your needs i think, but theyre yours if you need em. I work in a scrap yard so ill keep an eye out for anything that might be suitable on any of the cars i work on.

Dunno if Id get a job on Antiques Roadshow with hands like that though!

[shaun1.6ghia]

Thank you welshmike that is awesome, bad news for me tho better keep looking

[monkeymoreton]

what about these http://www.burtonpower.com/shackle-bush ... oly19.html

[welshmike]

Monkeymoreton, they are the same as the ones I pictured above. just a different brand.

[monkeymoreton]

Then they should fit as theyre mk2 escort bushes poly bushes are different size to normal bushes some times

[welshmike]

Think your getting muddled mate, he needs some this size...

 

Here's the sizes badly drawn
