Thanks, Mike. Ken has confirmed that the bushes should be 15mm thick and new ones are on their way from him. Meanwhile be wary of buying these from Martin R as they are 22mm thick despite having the correct part number.

I have just bought a set of bushes (C10995) but at 22mm they are a lot thicker than the originals (nearer 15mm) to the point where I can't get the nut started. Does anyone know how thick new bushes should be?

Many thanks, Jerry. I have now found the parts you mention, just got to get on with it! Richard

Thanks for the advice on the brake lights. Still looking for something which doesn't obscure the rear view too much and is bright enough to make a difference. Interested in the note on your profile about MX5 seats in an e-type. Were they easy to fit? What version of MX5 did you use?

I was very nearly re-ended today by a large 4x4. Has any one any experience of fitting a high level 3rd brake light to an E-type S1 FHC, preferably without drilling or otherwise damaging the body? Are there stick on types that could go in the rear window?
