Hi again, moved on to the rear beam bushes now after getting everything stripped down and painted.
Not sure about the fitment of the bushes I got - all the 69mm diameter ones availible seem to be like the ones I bought, but info/videos I've seen seem to all be 72mm which look a bit different, I'm assuming 69mm are the correct ones as even these have been a bugger to get in:
This bit with the red dot is not on the bushes I've seen installed. So as I am compressing the bush in, it bottoms out and this is what I end up with - ~5mm gap:
This is the info for the bushes I got:
They came as a set but are both identical. If I line up the nib (1) with the bottom weld for both sides, the orientation the rubber bit (red dot) will be different position, is this correct?
I can get a bit of 70mm ID pipe and push the bush in all the way but now wondering if its meant to be like this with a gap.
Wanted to get some help before I go any further as getting the bush back out will be fun if I need different bushes.
Thanks for any Ideas.
