WRT to this thread Reverb Bushes (Top & Bottom) DIY Any feedback on how the replacement polymer bushes are getting on in terms of wear. I've got several Reverbs on the go, two with a bit of sag & one of them definitely needs new bushes. I canny see me paying the full price for a new top cap :o(

They've been great for me ,14 months of good usage and into second winter. Topcap one was wearing a bit fore/aft last time I had it opened so just rotated it-good as new again.
Fantastic improvement over original ones-I've just caught a complete failure of top and bottom bushes loosing just about all their coating in another post of mine-now replaced with the nylon ones.

It makes a nice change going to do a quick service and not finding costly carnage inside .

Slight hijack but are the top cap bushes the same for all the posts? I've got an A2 and was going to replace the bushing with one of the eBay ones, but the seller hasn't responded to my question.

Cheers @gravesendgrunt I'll order some of those bushes up from Bearing Boys.

Yes Submarined the topcaps have always been the same dimensions no matter what version.
