Jeff- I know the part # is right but I can't believe the bushings have the correct center hole. I used the Moss kit you sent me and a 12 ton press and all I got was a mess and torn up bushings that are not usable as installed. Somewhere someone has the correct dimensions for these parts or another supplier that has the proper bushings. -----Original Message----- From: Little British Car Co., LTD.

John, Perhaps a clue to the problem is the 12-ton press. I used a vice, a screw driver and copious invective. Control, alignment, the need to check and redue before driving them all the way, are all elements of the job. Regardless, it 'aint easy as many will testify. If the bush is fully inserted before you try to insert the link arm, then the hole is small. Hence I used partial insertion, leaving the central hole large enough to offer the link arm, then carefully drive all together. My parts were from MOSS.
