Need to replace the bushings on my LT TB.
I've refurbished a few before but was surprised to see the pricing has gone up considerably with lesser availability. So I got thinking.. I wonder if the bushings are simply a standard off the shelf type/size?
If anyone has sourced these and knows the answer it would be appreciated as I don't want to strip the unit down before I have a replacement set.
Thanks in advance
Bill

Bill what colour did you need? I have a thudbuster lt post stuck in a frame and have the soft and medium elastomers spare. Sure we could work a deal out if it suited?

CBM is out of stock and sjsc only have kit with tool for £40 ish ...I already have the tool and lots of Spares but just need the bushes hence looking for a cheaper source.
Shedbrewed...thanks for the offer but it's new bushes I need not the elastomers. If there's no play in the pivots ( hence no bushing wear) I'd be happy to buy those parts and remove them if it's worth your while and mine price wise. Tbh the bushes are now about £25 for 8 but If I knew the dimensions I thought about trying to source cheaply from a bearing/bushing supplier ..hence starting the thread.
PM me if you're going to chuck it anyhow .
Thanks
Bill
