Think I’ll evaluate what to do to make it fit once the front rod is sat in a vice in my workshop 👍

That’s a great story, looking forward to seeing their adventures 👍 I’ll probably have to pass Winnie down to my Grandson though as my son will be the same age as @mike202 should I reach your age 🤣👍

We have black with silver characters on ours, also Savannah Beige, they look great. Can’t remember where I bought them though 🙈

Certainly looks like it fits on the linked website. Perhaps just a very very very tight fit. The barb is wider but the grooved slots are longer. But how to fit without damaging it, although the properties of the material on the manufacturer’s website would suggest it can take extreme force.

I seem to remember, can’t remember where I bought the bush kit from (probably Schofields) that there was an option to buy an upgraded bush (the smaller black item here) to go inside the white bush, which I have. Probably should’ve had a look at what I had already 🤣🙈🤣

Thanks Mike, mine was waiting for me when we got back from holiday last night. I definitely think the wrong part has been sent. I found this other bush on my “parts not yet fitted shelf” and it’s clearly different in size as Steve has suggested. I’ll wait and see what the supplier comes back...

Great story and welcome 👍 Start a gallery thread and keep the updates coming.

+1 for 123, I have the Bluetooth version with my own plotted advance curve. VWJIm has very good prices, wish I’d bought from him rather than getting my hat nailed on with import duty 🙈

Really enjoyable seeing your progress. Keep the updates coming 👍

It’s not often these days that I don’t need my readers to read stuff … this post is the exception 🤣 Thanks Mike 👍

That’s how I did mine last year, but I was fitting Twin Webers, Cooling Flaps, CSP Bellcrank etc, so had a nice clear run at it 👍

Hi Mike I’ve PM’d you 👍

Another +1 for Butty’s full linkage (includes long stainless rod and bushing through chassis) I also redid the accelerator pedal, pedal hinge, pedal spring, accelerator cable and under chassis return spring to remove as much slop from the system as possible. You could say it’s a bit like...
