Golfyste just noticed your a Sheffield lad aswell  :cool:

Yeah didn't notice you were  :grin:
Ever go to the low down meet.

I fitted TT rears and standard fronts to mine last year, pressed them in with a vice without any problems. As said above copper grease will be fine :wink:

You might not need to press them then
I have never done them so only going on what I have read before  :smiley:

I did mine recently using my Dads home made press.

Another option for the rear bushes is the super pro caster increase bushes that I fitted to mine.

They where reasonably priced compared to the front bush set up!


Defon inserts and power flex 30mm (early recalled TT) bushes.
