Nolathane Issue

[lappy]

Hey Guys,

I just bought a set of Nolathane Bushes to suit my KE30 and the bush to suit the front eye on the leaf springs is nowhere near the correct size, it is the correct part number thats in their catalogue (#47251) but it has an OD of 35mm rather than the standard OD of 50mm.

 

I searched their catalogue by bush size and the don't make a bush with a 50mm OD and a 13mm ID

 

I got on the phone to Nolathane directly this morning and they insist that its the right size for the car and we must have odd springs but every KE30-55 spring I have seen is the same size as these

 

Has anyone else every comne across this problem?

Hi,

Id have to go home and meassure my KE10 springs at home but I think you might have KE1X front eye bushes.

 

Ill let you know what I meassure up.

The KE30, KE35, KE50, KE55, 1974 - 1981 are all listed together, but with 2 different front eye bush part numbers. I personally don't use nolathathe as i find it perishes to quickly. Superpro polyurethane seems to work much better in the 8 years i have been fitting it.

 

The 35mm part number is SPF0891K

The 50mm part number is SPF1385K

 

Hope this helps

The lads at the local auto shop used a brand called Mackey Consolidated - Sure Track Automotive Bushes.

The article number is A2536U.

These worked great

 

Just another option
