At the end of the video (at 22:54) is shown that the bush's internal cylinder can get rusted to the bolt. Nevertheless are the new bushes mounted, at 13:14, without any grease, copper grease, or any other means to prevent such rust. Why is that?
The trailing arm should have been cleaned and greased with silicone grease and every part of the bushings should also have been greased. Contrary to rubber bushings, these do need to be lubricated. They will squeak in no time!
rimmerbros are a great company...just a pity it is sooooo expensive to restore an old classic car....these days its simply not worth it unless sentimental value like being in the family for years....now with global warming they are one hell of a bad investment. I recently spent over six thousand on suspension parts and floors and sills from rimmerbros..oh and a windscreen and fuel injection pump. This is what you are talking about if you want to restore a car and you better be doing it yourself.....engine is around fifteen hundred to do yourself....all in all i think to restore a tr6 and paint it yourself you are looking at around fifteen thousand.....bumpers will be the last item at around 700 sterling. Such a shame othewise many more would b restored i guess.
‘Fortunately on this car, everything’s coming apart quite nicely’, that’s because it’s sat in Rimmer’s showroom for as long as I can remember!
Like a place that uses parts that they sell. Been a customer here for years. Great selection of all the parts you'll need for your TR6.
Very good thank you.
Excellent video very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Good Job Hans.
