It certainly is +++

The mounts were £45 each, and there are 8 of them - one top and one bottom on each corner. Bizarrely 7 in stock in the UK, and one had to come from Germany :eek3:

I'll check whether the tool will fit the rear bushes later :) Those look to be about the same price each as the fronts but there are only 4 of them.

The rear bushes are a different design so this tool won't fit them. I could certainly look at making something though if you do want to replace them. I'd just need a bush to work with :)

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks. Probably be a few months before I have the job done so I'll let you know nearer the time. +++

Another new thing - a tool to remove stuck ABS sensors without damaging them.

Start with some thick-wall alloy tube

Turn it down to 17.5mm - just smaller than the sensor

Trim to length

Complete

This is how it works

11 out of 10 for ingenuity. +++

I need to show this stuff to my daughter, who is an engineer. Though Civil not Mechanical, so really big stuff in the ground! :ROFL:

This is one she did earlier:

That’s just showing off, LOL.

Please let her know I always admire that whenever fortunate enough to be passing through.

That is impressive +++

She led the design on all the groundworks stuff, including IIRC access roads, drainage, foundations, services etc.
A separate team did the building structure (it's an unusual space frame) and others again the contents/rides.

Did a similar job on this, though no longer involved and construction is far from finished:

Anyway, I'm digressing. Back on topic I'm finding this all fascinating and the skill levels MJ uses are amazing.
