control rod bushes

[Worzel]

Does anyone know where i can get control rod bushes (also called castor bushes)?
I was under my beddy and noticed that a few have disintegrated, and haven't found a source yet.

[Marky]

I couldnt source them

so i had mine manufactured at a local engineering shop

I took in an old one and they made them up about 10 each x 8 $80

yeh i confirm ive herd cant get them.. i think i know of a bloke who said if i ever needed any he said he had heaps extra made up at the same time.. only problem is ive lost his number.. but i know roughly where he lives.. ill drop in next time i think of it.

cheers

I was given this
Peter Coesling Motor Cycle Services

The original owner of my beddy (the grey one), got this guy to do all the front end and gear box modifications. He also did the diff mods.  He has all front end spare parts in stock. We were told this in October 2008.
Hope this helps you guys out

If you are referring to the bushers on the rods connected to the back of the front cross member and going towards the rear and connecting to the chassic (not really castor Rods) I bought a full set from Pedders Suspension at Stafford in Brisbane about 12 months ago for about $120 off the shelf,they had the listing on their books

Yeah, pedders are looking for me, but they didn't sound hopeful and didn't have a listing (three days and waiting).
A couple of auto surplus stores are looking too,
They are called control rods, but some people call them castor rods because they adjust the castor (apparently)

the Holdedn one tonner has a similar set up I think, maybe the bushes are the same ?

Just found this picture, not the best detail but shows the control arm in the red circle

Warren the 1 Tonners are just bolted on. No bushes at all. I have someone looking into making all the Bedford bushes, but like Worzel I'm just waiting waiting ...
