Thanks Dean. I'd seen reference to that company before but assumed it was all
Syncro oriented stuff.

I have T3 Technique supplied Whiteline bushings ready to be installed.

For those who are curious or just super bored, ha ha,
added some pics showing close up shots of plate removal, rust etc.

This is my first time at this job, so have no real point of reference
as to what's "ok" or not, but the plate does have a rust hole where
end of spring sits. I could repair it. Since the plate fits in a
groove and sits on the arm, doing so may be ok.

Again, thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Neil.
