Allegadly tightens up the anti rool bar links as they are plastic not rubber and therefore have less flex than a rubber bush.

And on a site note will you please use the edit function if you don't mind saves all the posts

Re: Meet in Cork in May on the 17th

My attendance is looking a bit shaky

Had to bring my dog to the vet this morning and they reckon she has epilepsy. If she makes it home today I'll still be good to go but if not, I'll have to cancel

The vets called and they want to keep her in over the weekend. There's not much I can do here other than wait so I may as well go down for the spin and the craic.
