Can anyone tell me where I can get some bushes for a VAN R rear shock?
Someone said I could get them from a local bearing supplier, but wouldnt know where to find one of those, or what part to ask for.
TF Tuned, Mojo, Loco Supsension, J-Tech or any suspension specialist will be able to supply your a bushing
The size you'll need is 12.7 mm (1/2") for any fox shock.
As for local bearing supplier, try the yellow pages....and ask for a 12.7 mm (1/2") bushing!
Might be DU10 (someone said?!)
IIRC It's 12.7mm DU Hula Hoop bushing... here have some homework, read these:

sweet, thanks!
PS, have read the links, and got the answer, just repeating here for anyone else:
You're right ... "its a 1/2in DU bush if its a fox, manitou and rockshox are different metric sizes" 1/2 in = 12.7mm
Also, BETD, TF tuned or 'local bearing supplier' (whatever _that_ is)!
You can get the right tool for removing the old ones off ebay for 8 quid.
or use a couple of socket, though the tool is much easier to use.
Sorry had to pop out, hense the hurried links...
as for the local bearing suppliers... try [url= http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&source=hp&q=bearing+supplier+stourbridge&pbx=1&oq=bearing+supplier+stourbridge&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=7681l12163l1l12669l12l11l0l0l0l0l271l2378l0.3.8l11l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=b7e5bb913cb3de15&biw=1280&bih=814 ]this[/url] but replace "stourbridge" for your local town..
