Well the good news is that I have bought the first set of both front and rears from Jamie and will get them sometime over Christmas for strengthening.
Talking to Jamie there may be an issue with the bushes. I had intended that customers would remove the bushes from their originals and put them into the replacement ones, meaning I did not have to worry about it. However, Jamie has indicated that getting the old bushes out is very difficult. Therefore I may have to look into putting Polybush replacements into the strengthend ones.

Martin,
Sorry my mistake!!!
Getting the bushe's out is not a problem it's getting them back in
unless i was doing something wrong. In my opinion the poly bushes are worth the extra cost
Mine drives 100% better with poly's in !!

how would you make these stronger?
do you put a steel tube over it and then weld it? i'd like mine to be stronger but dont know how to do it.
