    Default VP Bushes/Gaskets

    Hello,

    Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good place to purchase bushes and gaskets for a VP.

    It's unfortunate to say eBay doesn't have what I need.

    Cheers,
    Chris

    Well, I really don't have a choice, I rely on eBay, I don't know any other places.

    Autobarn don't have any, or I couldn't find any, I need Rocker Cover gaskets.

    you could try these guys,

    Rocket Industries - Weld Racing, Autometer, B&M, K&N Filters, MSD Ignition, World, Arias Pistons, Crower, Edelbrock, Holley, Arp, Mickey Thompson plus many more!

    since being in NZ I can't help you much as I don't know oz companies that well. Also these guys seem to be pretty cheap too

    NEW FELPRO HOLDEN V8 FULL GASKET KIT (EFI)

    hope this helps, and also hope I haven't broken any rules by putting these websites up there

    Most these sites you can buy right off them e.g shopping cart

    I would've gone straight to Bursons. Sofar there hasn't been anything they didn't have, or couldn't order in for me the next day. And they usually cut the price a bit if you sound like you know what you're talking about.

    Will Holden have bushes for a VP Castor Bar? I'm simply going off my Roadworthy inspection sheet.

    I've searched everywhere for them and they seem to be non-existent.

    I don't want to walk into Holden and look like an idiot.

    Well, like I said I rely on finding them online as I've never had any problems.

    Thanks for that, I believe there's a Bursons in Frankston.

    I needed one anyway.

    When replacing the wheels, is a wheel balance required afterward also?

    yeah i would imagine it is cos i once bought some vnss wheels and the balance was shocking it vibrated like a mofo at about 100k.
