Hi Bedouin, if you are going for one one of the Britpart swivel kits, check out Island 4x4, they have them in stock at approx £83 (ex VAT) vs Paddocks at approx £101 (ex VAT) for the same kit.

I use Island 4*4 a lot and have always found them to be fast and reliable.

One thing though, the swivel seal that comes with the kit is listed at approx £2 - 3, by Britpart, it may be worth upgrading this (separately) to a Corteco version, these are some £12 - 15 ea, and hopefully (!) some of the additional cost is reflected in the seal quality.

As mentioned above, gators should help preserve the swivel surface and as an alternative to leather, there is a rubber gator kit (again Britpart) available.

HTH & Good luck.
 

Thanks HomeLandie

I have used Island 4x4 as well and found them to be very efficient and very friendly.

Corteco is OEM so it makes sense to spend the extra £10 a side for peace of mind, especially considering the environment they live in.

I don't know if Britpart still offer this, but I used to buy my suspension bushes with G after the part number eg NRC4514G
G is for Genuine. In the case of bushes, Metallastic is the OEM. Well worth spending the extra on.

Hey John,

He had a wife.....

Could be. But the engineer's balls were brass not bronze......
