MG
The Classic Marque

I fitted Polybushes in the late 1990's. It was a time when mainly only specialist supplied them. I bought a full car set for around £30, from the then Welsh MG centre in Wrexham. When they arrived they were packed in various unit sets in sealed bags with the Polybush logo. Except for the top trunion ones that were in plain unsealed bag with polybush and the application written on a sticky label. ...

I don't know why you're both so sceptical when it's Trump himself saying why the B1s were flown out.

Trump said ---

"Yeah I think we can say that. They didn't fly out by accident.

"There were some threats. And rather than tempting the enemy, we'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy. But why should we leave them there? So we moved them around a little bit. Not very far...

Tend to agree Trev. The press has a lot to answer for.
Nothing like blowing things out of proportion for a good story. All it does is fuel the ego of potential terrorists

If this so called threat was real and the Yanks were worried it makes you wonder why personnel and assets are still there as they always are and there is no mention of the other two bases which are operating normally. Still looks like the end of a typical six month deployment to me.

Trump says 'a specific threat' saw US withdraw its bombers from RAF Fairford after 'foiled terror plot'

Must have been significant. Iran? Who else?

Yep. Iranian drone attack warning.

Dunno about football, fucking war is coming ho...

Thanks Willy and Malc for the info, they are definitely produced by ARP as their name is on each bolt, nut etc. and there's a fair few on this car.
Good to hear they are the correct socket to use and will hopefully avoid ordering anything incorrect.

I think more is being made of this by the press than is actually the case. The B52s left a while ago and the B1s have only been doing training sorties to keep current for a quite a while now. They have been there for several months now so the crews are probably glad to go home, so if they are not doing bombing missions there is little point in keeping them there. Also the two U2 spyplanes are stil...

US removes all its bombers from RAF Fairford.

Some only arrived at the base very recently.

The decision was a **military** one not a political one.

Something's seriously amiss, -- wouldn't you say?

Tim--ARP and others use normal 12 point (double hex) sockets etc. so to answer your question ,Yes that socket set would be fine--it has a full range from 3/8" through to 15/16". Some sets have some sizes that match metric sizes missing like 11/16'(17mm) and 13/16"(21) so yeah go for it--

And- the bolt on the end of that engine steady is an ARP bolt so yeah your manifold studs/nuts are mos...

My Sprite was owned by a guy who worked at Rolls Royce Aero Engines in Derby, I think he called them "bi-hex" as in 2 x hex ie 12 point, the f**king things were everywhere.

But you don't have ARP bolts, they look like nuts and studs.
