Radiator Mounting Bush - Barson - 20 Aug 2009 Hello all. I intend to replace the radiator mounting bushes soon. On Houston's site it's number 22 on this page: http://www.delorean.com/store/c-331-1-3 ... iping.aspx and details here: http://www.delorean.com/store/p-6291-ra ... ubber.aspx the bush looks to be 1" external diameter and perhaps 3/8" in height. Can anyone confirm this to me? I'm not going to order a pair of rubber bushes from Texas at $52.50, so I'm looking for alternatives. I just need to check that the bush is approx 3/8" in height when installed ) cheers. Dave. Re: Radiator Mounting Bush - Guinney1971 - 20 Aug 2009 $52.50 for two bits of rubber!!!!!!! Then you'll have shipping and import duty to pay on top of that.......... Might be worth taking your old ones off, and having a word with your local motor factor and seeing if they can match them up to something. I'm still in shock!! :!: Re: Radiator Mounting Bush - Barson - 20 Aug 2009 yeah, exactly, mate. it's nuts! I went ahead and bought these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... SI:GB:1123 they're probably a little to large (on the height side). width I'm alright. the bloke I bought the above off says the dimensions are: height : 15mm width : 27mm internal dia : 8mm it's just a matter of knowing the proper clearance at the top of the rad to gauge whether i can get away with a larger bush at the bottom, if you get my meaning. Re: Radiator Mounting Bush - Guinney1971 - 20 Aug 2009 it they are over big, can they be trimmed down to size if need be? Glad you found some anyway EDIT - having seen the link, I might get a few of those, as I'll be replacing the bushes and stuff on my 1989 Cav when I get around to restoring her, plus I could always do with a spare set for my 1993 Astra Convertible. Good find there matey!! |
