TF Polybush set

[mgtfnut]

Polybush rang me today with the news that they now do a full set of TF polybushes in orange - 75 Shore hardness. Later they e-mailed me a spreadsheet with part numbers and prices.
Anyone interested, as not yet on their website?

That's interesting .... allthough it would have been better to have them in black as well (in Belgium fitment of non OEM bushes isn't allowed, but the 3rd parties are black too so they won't notice).

Polybush do bushes in three grades of hardness. Red which is hard, going down to blue which is soft. Orange is the mid range compound. I've used orange bushes on my leaf sprung off-roader for years with good results, red was way too hard and cracked up both the bush and the housing

I'm surprised no-one seems to have shown any interest I'm certainly looking at some of the smaller bushes on the front roll bar and the rear suspension.

I've shown quite a bit of interest but have spent more time hospital visiting than forum visiting over the past 2 weeks.

I had the blue set on my Midget and it was one of the best things that I did to that car, I was happy with the blue bushes and it's a shame that there are only orange available so I am waiting for some feedback first.

I'm leaving the front wishbones alone until I decide to do something about the +ve camber on one side- or not.

Apart from the rear trailing pivot, I think I'll go for all the small ones and the front roll bar before the winter starts.
Polybushes are fine for some applications, and too harsh/wearing for some others. I've heard about some front wishbones cracking up and the bush seizing and wearing the metal casing of the wishbone etc. I think OEM bushes here, and the main trailing link are better for non track cars.

The orange are 75 shore hardness. I am sure they could produce a set in another color (hardness), as long as you order 5 to 10 sets (which is fair).
If you want them in black, they can be made in 65 or 85 shore hardness... again group buy for 5-10 is required.
