Hi all - seen these on ebay recently - has anybody bought a set at all?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321528013204?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Was thinking about getting some and sending off to powerflex to get some uprated ones made-up, worth it? I imagine they aren't the easiest things to change!

Cheers

The same bushes were pointed out to me earlier on in the week and the image of the axle in the advert looks like the Williams axle.
I may order a set and see if they look like the correct size, my axle is currently out of the car at the moment so should be easy to compare.
I did see a blog a while ago by a guy with a Renault 19 (I think) changing the rear axle bushes and it looked like a bit of a job as he had to cut and grind the bushes out of the axle mount.
I will report back on the similarity of the bushes when I get them - Just decided to buy them whilst writing this 👍

If Powerflex can't make them for less than £1 they'll tell you to piss off & wont bother making them :lol:

Hi Dan, yes sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I will post some images up tomorrow, I'm not sure that these are right, they dont look the same as the ones on my axle. However Mat Brown pointed me in the direction of a company who refurbish axles based in Scotland.
The chap Mark assured me that he could get hold of OEM bushes, when I queried him about their aparrent lack of availability he took my chassis number and came back to me this afternoon to confirm that 100% he could get the genuine bushes for the Williams.
I have put a link to his web site below
