Chris,
  I actually used Eric for my rebushing before I got on the list.  I wanted to 
not
only save money by NOT buying new lower a-arms, but i wanted my original Bugeye 
lower
a-arms re-installed with no holes for the anti-sway bar.  Have since bought a 
NOS
Healey sway bar and have to drill a different hole pattern in the same spot so 
it
worked out.  Eric did a first class job, he was reasonable and prompt.  Wouldn't
hesitate to use him again.
