Post by: axewielder on 12 August 2009, 18:58

Alright guys wheres the best place to get the bush kit for the rod selectors on the 8v 020 box??
Ive heard that mk2 kits can work but not sure as different pics on the net seem to include different pieces.

MK2 bush kit is the same as MK3, the only difference between MK2 and MK3 020 linkage is the plastic end rods are different lengths, the relay shaft is taller and the mk3 has a weighted shift rod.  IIRC the TSR ball end linkage kit has adjustible ends so it might fit, but what missinglinkz in the US does a proper MK3 kit:

cheers man, saw this but didnt think i needed all the metal componants? and could save money by getting a kit with only the plastic/rubber bits? thats why im confused, the mk2 boys seem sorted but there isnt much info on mk3s for some reason?

Those above kits are sweet although there are still a couple of the rubber bushes not included if you're intending on replacing them all. You can get the other few small ones from the main dealer still and they only cost a couple of quid.
