Title: favour required - desperately need to borrow a ppp subframe part!!!
Post by: hayesey on October 29, 2011, 07:11:51 pm
today I managed to strip a thread on the threaded part of the clevis half that goes through the outer TCA bush while fitting some nylon bushes.

Problem is I'm supposed to be doing a track day on friday and obviously the car isn't usable without this! 

So has anyone got one I can either buy or just borrow for a few days?  To make matters worse I only really have monday, tuesday or wednesday evenings to fit it so if it needs posting then it needs sending on monday really.  I can book a courier pick up if needs be.  Of course, I'll cover any costs and also pay a few beer tokens for the favour!

Just to be sure, the part I'm after is:

I think the very newest batch of subframes have different size holes through the clevis so it needs to be an older one really.

Muchly appreciated!

Don't try to fit a nut that's the wrong pitch!  :P

sorted thanks to the yoof. 

yes helps to check thread pitches more carefully! I hate modified cars sometimes.
