Brilliant, cheers. I'll drop you a PM, having some running issues with the car as of this morning so it may be next weekend when I can pick them up but I'll drop you a line! :)

Just got the conical bushing from eurometric, who now produce and sell these.

All seemed good until I mounted them. Turns out eurometric provided a 16mm inner diameter sleeve, which does not fit my early 318 as the required diameter is 14mm.

So back on with the old, and hope eurometric send me the right sleeve which will need to be 19mm outer and 14mm inner diameter. Waiting to hear back. Was really hoping to get this sorted so I can eliminate that this old bushing is causing vibrations...the renouned shimmy..

Turns out it was merely a packing mistake and my correct sleeves are on their way.

Full credit to Eurometric for taking care of this immediatly!
