Hello FOT,
I am looking for recommendations on suspension bushings for my racecar. A l=
ittle Formula VEE spun into me and took out my front right upright/trunion =
this weekend at willow springs, so while I'm replacing the upright assembly=
, I figured it would be a good time to replace the old worn suspension bush=
ings. I have been told a number of different opinions from "poly bushings w=
ould be an improvement over your old worn out bushings" to "nylon is the on=
ly way to go" to "poly and nylon are terrible you need delrin bushings." So=
in my lack of experience as a vintage triumph racecar driver, I'm asking y=
ou seasoned vets your opinions on the matter and why, what you are currentl=
y running, and if you could please provide me with where I can source the b=
ushings you recommend. Up until now, I haven't had any complaints with the =
handling characteristics of the car, but I know the bushings are ready for =
replacement. I haven't taken them out yet, so I'm not sure what is currentl=
y in there. Additionally, if you would be kind enough to spell it out for m=
e what type of bushings you run in which locations I would appreciate it.
Kas's catch phrase is "never be beaten by equipment" but that Formula VEE's=
equipment beat me up pretty good as it was spinning across the track takin=
g me out with him...=C2=A0
Thanks!Jonathan Wright_______________________________________________
