Bushes

Hi All
the Herald bushes in the book are 39mm in length which means a gap of 1.5mm between the bushes and the inside of the bracket.
should there be a gap or should the brackets pinch agaist the centre tube of the bush?

Cheers
Andy

You are suposed to use washers at each end of the bush

So the bush is fixed in position and the suspension movement is in the rubber itself?
