Hi all,
Just started having a look round for a set of bushes for my H120. Want to get the back done first as they are a bit noisy and was going to use polybush style ones but have just seen the prices, one retailer is asking £96 for the 2 front leaf spring bushes .
Anyone have any better leads? Would very much prefer polybush but at those prices may have to stay standard if they can be found.

Speedy Spares (http://www.speedyspares.co.uk/) do original type rubber spring eye bushes for £4.75 and rear ones for £1.25 each.

Thanks Thomas,
Yes thats 1 of the sites I looked at. I think maybe I've been a bit spoiled by the MGOC, I did a complete Midget in yellow polybush and I don't think it cost much more than just the bushes for the leaf springs. Looks like I need to order the top and bottom of the shackle separately also.
Oh well needs must I suppose.
