I too broke two vices doing this and still paid 25 quid at the garage for them to do it. Also had to buy my dad a new vice. Hadnt costed for that.
What torque wrench settings have people used for the bolts on the suspension?

Used a pucker press at engine shop. Did it myself and gave the guy a drink. Took about 5 mins for all of the bushes. Tools for the job and all that.

Just been looking at Chester Sportscars site.
They advertise poly bush sets for Tigers which they say are exclusive to them!
Does this mean they are different to the Tiger supplied ones (i.e actually fit?)
Has anyone fitted the Chester ones?
Andy.

Mine are from Chester sportcars and they supply Tiger. It's down to Tiger to make all the wishbones the same.

I got mine from Chester Sportscars before they supplied tiger, and they fit the dimensions in the book. Pity the wishbones aren't the same as
the book

I would go with option 1. With option 2 you have a lose washer, that will cause wear to crush tube, braket, etc.

Option 1, you will need all the adjustment you can to get the castor angle the same both sides.
