Default why 22nd?

I know how you feel. I have MK1 sitting in my garage but I might not be putting them on if Sheryl takes the TT (if she gets good job she will) so I also have to wait (sigh)

Default On backorder everywhere!

I've called several places including Forge in the US and Forge in the UK as well as SPA. PF85410 (front control arm rear bush) is on backorder everywhere!

Default You can do that yourself pretty easily..

Just need a little metal saw to get the rear bushings out of the arms. And a big socket + long bolt/washer/nut to get the front bushings out.

The fronts press in very easily, the rears are a bit tougher, but with some custom made metal/wood sheets with 1" hole in it it works pretty nicely..

We did the replacement with OEM bushings ourselves and it didn't take that long..

Default I guess I missed any mention of these...

Are they bushings for the front control arms to give MK2 owners the MK1 feel? If so, how much are they, and where can I sign up?
