MG
The Classic Marque

Oh ok, thanks Guy, I've ordered a set so we'll see how they turn out. The current ones are fraying at the edges so the new replacements should be better!

I know long term memory lasts better,😁 but this was a very, very long time ago Jeremey! And anyway surely most choosing to switch to Polybushes would be replacing old rubber ones, knackered and probably softened with age and contaminants. And that's just the bushes! So not a good basis for comparison. I just know that I was happy with them and they have lasted extremely well.

Funnily enough I was talking about it with a friend earlier. I could have done with that a few years ago when rebuilding bodywork.

Has anyone seen the demonstrations of laser welding on Youtube? The welds appear to be superb with just a small, raised bead on both sides. Really impressive though is the ability to do single sided spot welds. No need to punch holes and fill with MIG. Simply focus the laser on an overlap joint and it melts both layers and produces a perfect spot weld,

Thanks Guy,
did you notice a difference in ride harshness?
Similar to these?

Yep. May's back on locals.

Lol. An ex DPP who got his law wrong. Or was he just being sleazy again?

Labour'll get hammered.

When I Polybushed my car, many years and many k miles ago, I fitted blue all round. Since then the only ones I have replaced are the rear links. They are easy to do. I probably need to check others by now.
At the time there were red, yellow and blue options in 3 grades of hardness. Blue softest but firmer than rubber. The other 2 for fast road and track though I can't now remember which was ...

I’m assuming that’s the local elections you’re referring to, although it could very easily be something else.

I thought ‘law’ was the one thing that Starmer was supposed to be good at 🤷🏻‍♂️

Obviously not.

James, Philip, Bill,
thanks for your replies and experiences, think I'll give the polybushes a try and see what they're like.
Upper trunnions are not the most difficult to replace if it turns out the ride is too harsh for my liking!

Motion sickness. Car sickness.

As a kid, it wasn't unknown for me to puke on a coch or in my grandad's Wyvern. Combination of fumes and motion. Mostly cured by opening a window and sitting in the front seat so I could see the horizon. Same on boats. Long as I face forward with a view, I'm mostly ok. Still the same today.

As a driver, never had trouble.

Now I've started n...
