Marzocchi rear shock bushes?

#1 PostAuthor: Vendetta761 » Wed Aug 14, 2013 7:10 pm

Cor blimey stroll on guv !
Does anyone know where I can get a set of bushes for the top eye on a set of Marzocchi stradas?
The are 14mm id , 26mm od and approx 20mm wide.
I have 1 set of knackered shocks that seem beyond repair, one eBay pair missing a top eye bush and am hankering over Mr Dorans set once I can afford the postage but if they need the eyes replacing then I am just as stuffed.

Help! Please!
On a good note I am back in the adage so the ST project thread should start to ,ove forward ......

I used those ^^ and they do the job OK, but I needed to sleeve them as they are a little too small for the shock eyes.

Some black 25mm nylon overflow pipe from B&Q did the job nicely :lol:

Its kind of a shame to buy a 6ft length for 4" of bushing though, so I have a load if you need some.
Why do I persist in debating with idiots ? I really should know better :)

Thanks Guys, I have been to Peter in Bristol on the link below, fantastic guy and he got me the bushes but they were 24mm od whereas Marzocchis have 25.4mm or 1 inch od.
He might be able to put me in touch with someone to turn some up but we both thought sleeving may be best so I would love to buy a foot or two of your B&Q overflow pipe if you still have some please Charlie?
