The poor old Bullit is still going to have to last a few more years yet… as i just cant afford the $5k+ for that shiny Sunday.

The main problems being poor brakes and the play in the rear linkage.

So… wanting the job done this year… i took the Delrin bushing (sits between the inner steel bush and the shock) to John at DCH Engineering in West Melbourne, who machined me up a brand new bush for as little as $20 in a few days. Good as new, no play in the rear linkage. There wouldn’t be any way of getting that problem sorted quicker!

And those 6 year old Hayes really do need an upgrade but… a new disc and set of pads will have to do for now. As long as they lock up, its good enough for me…
