Does anyone have a cross reference and source for all of the bushings for a ‘59 mk1.5 Courier? ( frame rail mounted lower front control arms)
I’ll probably be building new arms and rear links so is there a better approach such as heim joints?
Also are there drop in shocks or coil overs or better alternatives if modifications are made? The car will be for street use only, probably with a five bearing 1800 and maybe OD trans.
Thanks,
Bill B

Moss has a bushing for jaguar that can be modified to work or I do have the original specs for the bushings if you want to make or have them made. You mentioned you might be building new an arms. If you do just use the jag bushing and modify you a arms

As for the coil over shocks QA1P seem to be a commonly used replacement I believe but they are pricey

Have to look up the jag part number. But here are the original specs, The other bushings for the four link I had made as they were a euro version by ford and could not find a source. Hope this helps
