Group buy - polyurethane bushes

[swinks]

Right guys, I'm back in UK !!! And bunch of polybushes with me
I need your addresses to send ones (PM please).

Next order is due December or bit later. I need to figure out how to get polybushes here to UK.
Next time with orders more than 8 sets we can get price around 105 GBP (excl. arb bushes).

Here picture of 4 sets. Each set is in 2 packets (big and small). There are rear inserts in big packet and front ones in small. I took away Galant n/a arb bushes from packets (only smitty31 has got ones):

Cheers

Just to let you know I have recieved the bushes, but I have checked through them and there seems to be one of the rear bushings that has the wrong size. I will attach a picture tomorrow. For each metal bar insert there are 2 bushes, one half of one of the pairs it quite a bit bigger. It doesn't even pair up to any of the others in the packet, as if it isn't for this vehicle or was defected.
Not sure what can be done about, any ideas.

I have attached the photo's below. It seems it hasnt been milled to the correct diametre, bigger than its pair. I have checked the rest of them, and they are fine.

Hmmm... strange.... Especially, that I didn't open your packet.
Please, do check how many complete inserts for rear you got (both halves).
It may be possible that manufacturer put into your pack half of insert and to other one remaining half.
So request for others: check your packets!

[smitty31]

I have checked the packets, in the small packet ( front bushes ) there are 4 bushes and 2 arb's, and in the big packet there is 12 bushes, 6 red pairs and 4 yellow pairs with metal inserts, and 2 arb's.
The bush in question, is the longest of the red ones. Pictures posted above.

Got ya! Know what you mean...
Need to check mines and Glenn's packets, will see if the same problem we have. Wonder, which one size is right: thinner insert or fatter one. and which suspension arm it is going to.
Well, I can swap with you for right one, but need to know which is right.

[smitty31]

Hiya,
I think it is the thinner of the two, the other identical pair is the thinner size.

[swinks]

Right, I'll send you then mine thinner part of insert, and once you got one you'll send me yours thicker.
Then it will be mine problem how to fit one...

[smitty31]

Thanks for doing that, but just wondering, will you then have to send for replacements for yours, or do you know someone with a milling machine.
Are the other packets the same?

[swinks]

Nope, I haven't got milling machine and won't send it back. To late for complains (30 days states customer law in PL) and quite difficult to send and receive right one back, and in the end it's just 30 PLN (7.50 GBP) for one bushing...
My project is already delayed, so makes no difference to me....

Checked my big packet last night. There are 4 different red pairs in the large packet. Of the tallest pair I also have one odd bushing which doesn't appear to have been cut as narrow as the other three, exactly as in the pictures above.

I also note that the 4 identical pairs of small yellow bushing in the big pack are very loose on the metal insert - in fact there is about 1mm clearance and they can be lifted off without touching the metal insert. Which doesn't bode well for tight suspension... are yours the same?

The 4 bigger yellow bushings in the smaller pack look fine but I haven't opened that yet.

Send me "wrong" one pair, I'll sort right one for you (I hope...), I'll PM you address.

Yes, all were the same issue, but I was told, that metal insert is not matching hole because they didn't have right size of tube to cut them off. Was adviced to try use old metal tubes from original inserts or find matching size metal tube.

Yeah, my small yellow inserts are the same, with the metal inserts being too small.
