Need a few replacement bushes for the boom on my Volvo L70f genuine are silly money (bought genuine for main bushes onto headstock) looking at £230 for main centre bush (100mm id x 110mm od x 230mm).

Does anyone know a firm that will make me some to fit?

yeh did think making 'em, you'd be hard pushed to better the OE price, if you needed to machine 'em at all :(

Give volmec a try 01226 204400, we use them for near enough all our Volvo parts normally a fraction of the price as well
