Not meant as a criticism in any way Zac, as the standard of your engineering appears first class, and is to be applauded, however "Metalastic" bushes do work equally as well in this particular application, particularly as as extremes of temperature etc. are generally not the case. I have used this type of bush successfully over many rears, and provided that the associated engineering is sound, then no probs. will ensue, as Lotus 7, Spitfire, etc. owners will I am sure confirm. At the upper limits of performance engineering, then maybe there is a case for alternative pivots, even possibly Bronze bushes pivot pins, but its more a case of "more than one way of skinning a cat!" so as to speak! oops not seriously all you animal lovers, honest!!..........whatever.......Morrag

Honest Morrag i never for one momment thought you ment any criticim, and im sure that void bushes can be used with out any  probs what so ever,  before i use any kind of item for a application i do my home work on each thing i may think i may beable to use and look at the negs a poses of each item i then reject items based on the poses and negs with out trying some items, but i only qoute why i would not use somthing my self, and would never say that somthing will not work



but dont go to the north pole with them, or drive through an oil or diesel slick on the M6

i thick the Sideways movement on the roses it stopped by virtue of the shape and design of the rear.
the roses wont move laterraly as the fixed triangulation at the rear opposes them.
they also self align!
