While browsing on elise parts I came across a set of Nylatron wishbone bushes. I know there’s a few metal parts included but Damn, �150! Surely thats a typo isn’t it? I’m not looking to buy any but 32 plastic bushes cant retail for over a hundred quid surely??? Tell me I was dreaming
Could be. I think they CNC them to quite high tolerances (shame the cars aren’t made to the same stds!) which is probably where most of the cost goes. You’ll also get 16 or so bits of metal (which maybe shiny) and it’ll probably come in a plastic bag, maybe even two.

I can’t be sure from the picture but it looks like they may have been injection moulded. I used to produce a 2 piece lower steering bush in Nylatron (Moly filled nylon 11) for ford escorts (appologies for the language!) from a single shot mould tool. Cost to my customer, �120 per 1000 pairs. It’s a shame theres not a bigger demand for these bushes, I could make a killing
