i got a non oe off mike last year obviously alot cheaper and it lasted 1 month, put a renault one on and its still in a1 condition with no play so we are all in the doo if we cant get the proper renault ones

Pearl still stock them, not sure on quality but if the engine mounts are anything to go by this should be up for the job. And very cheap as well

I got one from CGB and it needed bigger bolts.Did Mikes come with bolts and was it the 9mm or 11mm?

Hopefully my dad will buy another bigger laithe again and start making parts like this

i had both non and oe off mike, they both housed the original sized bolts and fitted straight on, the non oe lasted 1 month mate, absolute sh1te but mike replaced and i paid the extra for the renault one, im not sure what size it was but its for the spline p2 matey but i think 11mm. but mike would know

Would the club maybe look into a good quality reproduction? Via mike? They will be needed.

Just a thought for the next meeting.

It's for a pal, I just phoned him to say about Pearl. He's ordered one from CGB for £10 or so; I guess that's the same as the one from Mike that fell apart?? Do you think they would they be the Pearl ones that Mike and CGB are selling?

We have tried several makes now and they aren't half as good as the OE ones.

[Ian S]

Would solid ones do it just fine?

Ie, no rubber inserts.

[Lewis]

Convert to splined rack and column?

[Ian S]

All discontinued I expect. Columns at least.

someone said about doing this when i took off old one but not sure if they do really work but maybe it should be looked into if the others do become obserleet

Test one first, we have found they aren't great

That eBay one Schakal has there has a visible crack from the upper bush.

Dale, I guess you'd be getting Pearl?

Mike, did you try Pearl?

Yes will be pearl, Mike has said he has tried them. I am trying to see if any other supplier of the part is possible, not having much luck though

[LukeRobbo]

I got one from GSF for £15 hopefully it will be decent.The hole size is correct unlike others I have bought

[Bigfoot]

What make was it?

[LukeRobbo]

Not sure but the rubber looks good quality unlike one from cgb which had chunks out of it.This is it;
