Suspension bushes and tube
I was going to order the Suspension bushes and tube kits from lolocost but as a few people of this group have had bad experiences with the company in
question ,I'm a little apprehensive.
Any suggestions of alternative suppliers?

If it's the threaded tube that's part of what you're after you'd be better off saving your money and finding a mate that has access to a good
lathe and a tap.
Lolo threaded tube is shit.

Both myself and Hippy ordered the threaded tubes from Lolo. They were a real crap job and when I asked them to give me some better ones their
response was "we expect someone untertaking a project like that to have the right tap - sort them out yourself". Duhh!! Why would I have any need
to buy the tubes if I had the tap already??
Anyway, Merlin can sort you out with all the bits. Email merlin@locostbuilders.co.uk or just drop me a line and I'll get them off him and post
them.

I got my bush set from Lolocost aka RobinHood.
The outer sleaves need cleaning as they have some surface grime and the inserts don't have 100% flat ends.
Even so, I've been happy with the service, having had calls (like this morning) to confirm when I said 34 and 2 quarters I meant 34 and a half.
They also deliver when they say they will. I aim to use them again.

PS, their brochure doesn't give sizes for the length of the bush set. It's different from what the book suggests, so don't make the brackets up
until you have them.
Or do what I did. Give a bush set to merlin and get him to make you a set of brackets.

Same here,i've not had a problem with lolocost.
Although i mainly buy from them at shows,allways best to view the goods when they are very competitive on price.

I've bought various bits from Lolocost, including threaded tube. I've had no problems with them at all. They have always been polite, helpful and
competitive price wise. I have always bought from shows, or open days. No complaints here.
