[Mg-t] Rear Shock bush replacment

[Douglas Ormrod]

Greetings for New Zealand

I need to replace the rear shock rubber bushes on my TD (girling).

I have the bushes, but not the installation kit and have been unable to borrow
one locally.

I have read the useful article by Larry Shoer
http://www.ttalk.info/Shoer-Girling.pdf

I had POR15 the pins which would probably explain why they came out!

I can see how to do most of it with assorted sockets vice and drill press and
can make up the little bullet guide.

I would be grateful for suggestion on how to get the bushes into the holes
without the tapered guide.

Thanks

Douglas

Let's face it: f1 is no longer about racing.
In a world awash with petroleum, why turn it into a international Mobil
economy run?

Hello Friends,

Just a short note to champion the start of the upcoming 2014 Formula 1 season.
Pre-season testing has begun and the results (and cars) are interesting. This
year we see a new formula and new rules.

F1 engines for 2014 are down from the historical V12, V10 and V8 designs to a
rev-limited tri-turbo 1.6 liter V6! No one, that I have read, is commenting on
the engine note but I'm sure its very different. Rather, all emphasis seems to
be on the shape of the cars' noses. New rules in the formula specify the
height of the nose, but not the shape. So as one might imagine, there are a
lot of different designs - all within the formula while still trying for the
best aerodynamic shape.

A few seasons ago the FIA eleminated refueling during the race. This year they
have further restricted the amount of fuel that can be used. I fear that
drivers will be forced to drive for fuel economy, just as they have had to
conserve those crappy Pirelli tires, rather than race full-out. I know its
just my opinion but I'd rather see tire and fuel management be the concern of
the race engineers, leaving the drivers to just drive their races. But you
know what opinions are like...

Erik, are you working communications again in Melbourne? I'd love to be back
with you working again this year but alas, retirement has fixed my income. In
fact, I haven't worked an F1 race since the US F1 GP races at Indy. That's
kinda sad, especially since its just laziness on my part. Still, we both know
that when you work a race you don't get to watch the race.

That's it for this morning. Its been a little too cold to do much in the
garage. I've been content to reupholster the dining room chairs. That too is a
little sad. :-P

Regards,

-rick
