zetecspit Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) As I have my spitfire in bits (again) I thought I may as well replace the column bushes as there is a little bit of play. Not a lot, but worth looking at. I should add that I am using a late spitfire column, personal choice (and easier ignition key access) So the usual issue, where to find decent parts. A quick google showed the part no to be GSV1095. Seems they are easily available, and my "chosen" supplier Wood and Pickett certainly saves a load of grief as I was thinking of buying some PTFE bar and visiting a lathe-owning friend... However, if the new ones don't work out it may be back to plan A. Edited January 11, 2019 by zetecspit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Not sure which column supports you'll have, but when I replaced UKC5664 (lower clamp) on my Spitfire due to the upper column moving I also added a rubber strip between the clamp and the column - it's reduced the movement quite considerably https://www.canleyclassics.com/triumph-spitfire-mkiv/1500-wheel-and-column-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zetecspit Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 I can't remember But will check it all over and hopefully get it nice and firm. A wobbly column is most annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
