I just got a set from Porsche, and looking at the bushings, install could be interesting. |

QUOTE(IronHillRestorations @ Dec 20 2018, 12:33 PM)  Hmm, I wonder if anyone has the tools who’d loan to me @IronHillRestorations Me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) I have installed all brands except Porsche. Uro are too soft and poor and inconsistant. Did 5 pairs of them. Easy to install cause they are too soft. 914 Rubber and Elephant are about the same stiffer material. I sold one set of originals at Pelican and they had a hard time with they until they used grease They were about $20 each. Elephant's tools are aluminum. 914 Rubber are Delrin. I like that material better. I prefer to use the 3 ft section of 5/8 or 3/4 inch threadall with steel discs and washers. Grease all friction surfaces. Especially with the aluminum. It galls easier. Heat and grease on the correct surfaces is the trick. Attached thumbnail(s)
