Let the ally bush cool after 30 seconds of drilling and repeat until you have drilled right through the bush.

Title: Engine Dampers - Alternative parts Post by: MattNoVAT on May 14, 2014, 05:41:00 AM Yes, I have these fitted to my S2/FL and have had no issues.
There were approximately 26 other forum members that used these when I did the "group buy" so maybe others who have fitted them can provide some feedback (if they have actually fit them that is) ;D Title: Re: Engine Dampers - Alternative parts Post by: KrissEB on May 14, 2014, 07:49:49 AM Thanks Matt - it's great news :D
Thaks for your stuborn and patience in research:) Title: Re: Engine Dampers - Alternative parts Post by: Neil-yaj396 on May 14, 2014, 08:52:00 PM Yes, I had the dampers fitted while the CV boots were being changed for the MOT. Both old dampers were seized solid. The new ones made a noticable difference to drivability. They had to be packed out with washers as the bushings are narrower that on the originals.
I had drilled them out as above, but it took ages with my DIY drill & admittedly cheap drill bits. |
