Hey guys, I've got some free time, and am gonna finally get around to  
replacing the entire suspension on the 5-speed(thanks to the "box of  
Nick" I've had sitting around for awhile.  I was missing a few  
suspension bushings, and found a source for Urethane bushings.....I  
asked about a group buy, with the stipulation that I'm the guinea pig  
and will make sure everything fits first....This is the only site I  
found that specifically offered parts for a V8(they have an american  
office which doesn't stock the parts for the V8).  Someone in the UK  
is gonna mic the "25mm" sway bar bushings tomorrow to verify that  
they are actually 26(and they also offer a 28).  Anyone know another  
source(for pentosin/oil resistant Urethane bushings), chime in/let me  
know.  If anyone's had experience with these guys, also let's hear  
it.  Putting Urethane bushings on the Saab years ago, was like owning  
a new car......and while I'm in there, would love to replace the  
rubber with Urethane.  The basically new sway bar bushings on the  
Lago car got soaked not once/twice, but 3 times with hydraulic fluid  
dealing with the pump rebuild(forgot to tighten one cap), and the  
rebuilt hoses(Spokane HOH left the union loose, but failed to mention  
that to me, and I just put it in.....They've already swelled up, and  
that sucks.
Unless someone gives me a better option, I'm gonna be the guinea pig  
and put these in and am willing to deal with a group buy if anyone's  
interested...Sincerely, Tom
