Paddocks sell them. I have a set sitting here that needs to go into our '83 110 before august 8th. I have never done one either :-(

Are they different on the early one-ten then?

Try paddocks but I suggest you avgoid the "teflon" coated ones as the coating doesn'tlast very long.

the early 110s (and I think most upto about L reg) use the series ones. One bearing and a pin or summat.

Same idea as series, but top pin (Railko bush), is a different size to 90/110. Easy enough job to do. Follow the workshop or haynes manual. Unless the swivel is pitted, use the old one. Works out about £16 a side for bits unless something else is fubared!

So did the later ones use 2 taper roller bearing like the RRC then?

Funny, because the ABS axles went back to Railko bushes.
