Just looking through the bay of E and found these:

A full set of bushes for £59 seems decent, anyone know what their quality is like?

These are the ones I got although I got the prototype set and mine are great
Cant wait for the poly drive shaft boots he is working on at the moment he is also building a very nice roadster himself

These are made using mild steel inserts its up to you but if it was my car I would not use them cause I would want to know there not going to rust over the winter

The green one... nowt looks like it's machined central. So much for less than 20 quid.

The Flo-Flex inserts are mild steel, I had bought them not realising and then returned them. I also thought they were very soft not like the last set I had from 3GE.

I thought the price was too good to be true and it makes sense if the crush tubes are mild steel. The bush sets I supply are 303 grade stainless steel but then that is why they are £95 for 22 bushes.

So the bushes are fine, just the crush tubes need to be stainless?
