how to fit front bushes to an MGB rear leaf spring

a short video on how to fit the front bushes to the rear leaf springs for an MGB or MGB-GT

Funnily enough I just had to do this on my B last week in order to replace some rusty leaf spring mount brackets. I found that the bolts had seized with rust to the inner tubes and wouldnt come out without the help of cutting disc on an angle grinder. Getting the bushes out and putting new ones in was fairly straightforward with a pair of suitably sized sockets and a bench vice. Unfortunately I hadnt seen your video then, so I didnt smear the new bushes with copper grease prior to re pressing them in. BUT I did saturate the inner tube with copper grease before putting the new bolts back in. Tbh if the bolts had come out I not sure I would have replaced the bushes. Nice press you got there though!!

Hello there, could you tell the diameter and the width of the front bushes for the rear leaf spring please? Trying to find something that might fit my Humber.
