Engine vibration damper bushings
« on: July 08, 2026, 02:37:51 PM »
I have printed up and fitted the large and small bushings for the engine vibration dampers (Crank pullet and Gearbox ends). The bigger (lower end) ones on mine were totally rotten and hidden by the large washers used to mount them.

Shame that I only discovered that the damper pistons were totally useless after having removed them from the car !!

The bushings are printed in PU filament and so have rubber like qualities. They may be of use to someone who has actually removed these dampers and established that theirs are worth refurbishing.

Cheers,

Steve

I have a damper from Mark that needs a couple of bushes to be usable (It may be a Mercedes one, can't remember!) but I need to check the I/D of the new shock absorber is the same as the old one.... I'll get back to you at the weekend! Keep up the good work!
