      I used the polybush on the other side just have the spare sleave which may well come in handy one day.
      It's getting better all the time now, driving well.

    The powerflex bushes are designed to fit the genuine arms and don’t work with patern ones

      Yes. I had no idea the pattern part would need a different bush, that's just daft. All sorted now though. Cheers

    Wow. I was shocked to see the races drop out until you found they were the wrong ones.
    I've only hired out work on my cars twice in my life. Once worked out well. The other was a nightmare.
    I don't like if I screw up but to pay someone else to screw up would set me off...
    After decades of working with grease and paint thinner, my hands cracked and bled a lot.
    I found a 15mil glove that is very tough. I can get 1 - 3 days out of a pair and no more cracking or bleeding.

      Yes, it was a big mess really. We were luck we finished the trip on the old ones. I only subbed it out because if time constraints but lesson learned.

      Give wise I've not had much luck. It's so hot out here they just fill with sweat.

    • @Joe.Doucette
      @Joe.Doucette Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes, well you do certainly get "warm" weather ther. I sweat too but it's better than the cracking and bleeding in my case

    • @Joe.Doucette
      @Joe.Doucette Před 7 měsíci +1

      Yes, I know that you were in a crazy time crunch (silly boy).
      It is amazing that nothing got damaged.

    • @Squintanditsmint
      @Squintanditsmint  Před 7 měsíci

      I thought perhaps you wouldn't in a non tropical climate. Its ridiculous here though, they fill up like a water balloon bomb.

    • @Squintanditsmint
      @Squintanditsmint  Před 7 měsíci

      That's what I thought. I expect nos would be worth a few quid then.
