Radiator Mounting Bush
#1
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 Smile )

cheers.

Dave.

$52.50 for two bits of rubber!!!!!!! Shock Shock Shock

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!! :!:

yeah, exactly, mate. it's nuts!


I went ahead and bought these:

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.

it they are over big, can they be trimmed down to size if need be?

Glad you found some anyway Smile

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!! Big Grin
