Title: Ben type transmission discs bushes Post by: davidwheeler on 04 November, 2021, 01:50:10 PM A number of us will have Ben type aluminium discs with bushes in our prop shafts. They are a vast improvement on the original fibre disc but the bushes are not immortal. .They are also very difficult to find but I have tracked them down.
They are FBNS0822.2023 SEMI BONDED BUSH from FIBET RUBBER BONDING (UK) LTD Unit 9 Dale Mill, Hallam Road, Nelson, Lancashire, BB9 8AN Tel (01282) 878200 www.fibet.co.uk sales@fibet.co.uk Fax (01282) 878201 They cost £8.48 each plus vat. Free postage over a certain amount (which I forget). Martin Young jmbyoung@hotmail.com bought the rest of Ben's spares from Nicky and has some discs remaining. Title: Re: Ben type transmission discs bushes Post by: davidwheeler on 12 December, 2021, 11:44:17 AM Just spent a couple of days in my freezing pit taking the whole propshaft out, fitting new bushes to the Ben type discs and finely adjusting them in the press so that everything fits together without strain. Result - smoooooth motion! (several of the bushes in the front joint were failing).
