IMPORTANT NOTICE - Access to Technical Info on Forum
The original ethos of the Forum was to make technical information

including How To guides, FAQs, etc. available to all Forum members

without subscription, but in recent years we have seen a decline in

Club membership numbers whilst the costs for hosting the Fiat Coupe

Forum web site have increased. Club membership pays for the Forum and

provides other benefits, and to ensure the long term viability of the

Club and Forum, it has been discussed and agreed at the recent AGM that

the technical sections of the Forum should be accessible only to Club

members with a current subscription, starting from 01-January-2026.

Purple company do but... £23 per bush per side so £100 incl postage. thats a lot of money given the size of them. especially since i can get wishbone and inboard ARB PU for a total of £116 any alternatives? for reference... 2x PFF1-806 2x PFF1-603 Rich '98 Fiat Coupe, 2.0 20v VIS, Portofino Blue '58 Audi TT, 3.2 Quattro, S-tronic, Mauritius Blue

As and when my stock control arms are worn , then I’ll look to do these along with the other bushes Cheers Jamie She's alive, again

I think they are around 30mm diameter, and assuming the metal parts are in good condition, then you just need an 8mm hole down the centre https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38524063...r=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Last edited by Jamiepm; 09/08/2023 22:10.
