poly bush gear linkage?

:? hi does anyone know if there is anywhere i can get a set of poly bushes for the gear linkage or should i just replace them with the original ones?

The original wearing plastic bits are already a hard plastic, rather than rubber. The other part which can be upgraded is the ball and socket parts, which can be changed to metal (I think) on the socket, instead of the plastic standard ones, which also wear over time.

superb mate thats great thanks for the help.....

Try here, this is the kit that i bought although i havent actually fitted yet

you could also consider changing the link rod ends to rose rose joints.

do a google search for 'missing linkz' he does complete ball linkage upgrades plus uprated linkage bushes
