Ace 'Brooklands' Forum / Rear Wishbone Suspension Rubbers
« Last post by Adrian_J on Today at 14:10:13 »
Does anyone know the donor vehicle for the metal cored rubber suspension bushes used throughout the rear wishbone assembly please? I have been researching a few Ford, Jag and Volvo possibilities, but find most adverts don't specify dimensions, rather they just detail applicable vehicle models. Nominal dimensions are overall length 44.6mm, 'seated' length 35.0mm, 'barrel' diameter 32.5mm, 'end caps' diameter 39.5mm, metal 'crush tube' bore 12mm. Superflex offer a universal shock absorber eye SF0415 which is the closest I found so far, but you need to buy SF469-0137T crush tubes separately. This works out to be tad expensive when re-bushing the complete suspension! An oem part would be preferred.

 Stephen (BEX288 ) and Flying Horse   (BE640)

Just re read this thread,   Goes back to 2012.....
 
As stated earlier,  On my BEX333 I installed the Oil Temperature bulb into the top of the Dog Bone.
Original Thread started by Stephen in 2012,    With  valuable help / advice from Barrie Bird,, I hope Stephens BEX288 has been  clocking up the miles / kilometres, and Flying Horse  (Aceca  BE640) is a separate new  problem which is about to be resolved. 
Hopefully  you both have working Oil Temperature gauges and  are knocking up enjoyable miles / Kilometres .

Cheers for Now
Keith

Thanks-I’ll follow up.  It contains diethyl ether.
I also found this so possible to do it yourself but fiddly

A flat configuration ---horizontal rods, but engine is vertical. Someone who wrote the add has verbal diarrhea, plagiarism at its best (revealing utter crap)

I do believe that AC built a flat six but its not in this car.

Surprised I don't see Subaru in engine bay. Lightbulb moment-,may be a good aftermarket swap or a lexus V8.

I thought the above car interesting. In particular the alloy head, does an alloy head confer many benefits?  Who made the heads and if only three, were they not very successful?
