Triumph Spitfire/Herald/GT6 enquiry

We get some very interesting enquiries – please see the one below, we are making enquiries and trying to source this part:

‘I’m enquiring as to the availability of a bush used in the front suspension of Triumph Spitfire/Herald/GT6 etc. The only ones currently available are made in China and have the wrong sized hole through the middle – they only seem to possess metric drills, not imperial. The hole should be 3/8” and they are supplied with 10mm which is too much clearance.
It is a rubber bush with a steel inner but no outer. The ID is 3/8” (9.525mm), the length of the inner and the rubber is 1.5” (38.1mm) and the OD of the rubber is approx 0.835” (21mm).’

BUKH 24 DV marine diesel engine

Today a customer had a BUKH 24 DV engine weighing 223kg. He can either use RAB 2 or RAB 3 mounts – They will need 4 mounts with the RAB 2 taking maximum 105kg in weight each or RAB 3 taking maximum 70kg each.

His decision could be based on the static deflection:

RAB 2 = 1.75mm
RAB 3 = 2.75mm

Please see our page for RAB mounts to calculate your requirements.
