    The arms on 3 doors do not have bushes but Spherical bearings so you cant do them if they are worn which I doubt on yours that they are they will cost around £70 each, the big doghnut ones are easy as long as you have the 2 piece ones going back in otherwise I wouldnt even attempt it at home.

    OK you cant use the yellow ones as your beam is already solid mounted you cant use the black ones as the arms use spherical bearings and not bushes BUT you can use the blue ones !!!!

    Sorry to bring the post back from the edge of porn but....
    So do all 3 doors have solid mounted rear beams? ooohh eerr Or has Toppy's one got the modified rear beam I've heard about? ..nightmare about getting all those bushes, we're they listed for a 3 door? can you get the correct set of replacement spherical bushes then?

    Send them back and say that the 3 doors have bearings, The rally design ones would have been less than £40 and they say on thier web site that the early cars have bearings and not bushes.

    Definitely send em back, they have been supplied to you incorrectly it is the shops responsibilty, they may not give a refund but you should at least get a credit note for them.

    You want the 2 legged turbo damper and Bailey does make one, ask for a damper to fit a 2wd turbo to a 4x4 head

    Glad to hear you have had a resuly

    The big yellow ones and the black ones are very funny to install.
    Did it at home on my Escort Cossie... Took me a few hours...at least..
