Except you need either a 9" angle grinder, oxy or plazma cutter to cut the the hole.I like dyna bolt idea. It would have to be a really slack -unt who thought of that.

Guest STEVE_BAXR Guests Posted 18/08/09 08:01 PM Share Posted 18/08/09 08:01 PM Steve, looking at the pics, I cant see how its different to my Superpro bush? softer material? or some holes in it to give it more flex?It is a softer material no hole's I cant say to much but it works so far I will have a vid soon , the boys at fulcrum are on to a good thing they will have my vid as well to see how much flex it has under power etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STEVE_BAXR Guests Posted 18/08/09 08:08 PM Share Posted 18/08/09 08:08 PM A dynabolt to hold the bush while you jam it in, that's f*cking gold. yep a dynabolt to pull it out that's the hard bit , it easy to put in just hit it with a hammer. xr6gregOK I will do a new post on a step + step with pic's tonight but as you can see there not much to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest STEVE_BAXR Guests Posted 20/08/09 07:38 AM Share Posted 20/08/09 07:38 AM rubber firewall type plug/grommet then it would look stock I will do the vid of the bush on the weekend, I have been driving the car all week to work 130km a day on and off the gas , 0 to 100 fast , back to 3rd to over take , and 80 to --- all good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
