Steph...

I think the Remote Bushes are eight rubber washers
available from S&S. Two Bushes \ four per bush.

Mine failed on Sunday, but the RAC made us something
up to get us home! Crossness IS NOT the place to
break down on a hot day, believe me!

Do a search on this website or go to jclay's website. He has excellent pictures of them installed. I got a set on ebay from someone who made white poly with SS inserts in Saskatchewan but you can get the black poly in UK.

They look very different when your nose is only inches from the remote housing.[B)]

Oh! That is just wrong on sooo many levels!

Thanks for the photos: I didn't realize there were FOUR bushes.
Eight 'washers' now makes a lot more sense!

Don't forget to use the metal sleeves in the center of the washers!!

and make sure that the metal sleeves pass cleanly through the rubber bushes without "pinching" them. Extra gearbox whine can result- it happened to me.

I had to replace the bushes from underneath the car, there wasn't a lot of room for essential items like fingers and spanners. It must be a breeze with the remote housing on the bench........
