Can anyone tell me where to source the hard rubber bushing for the steering shaft through the firewall?  It probably is from some common vehicle but I don't know from what.  Mine crumbled and I need to have something there.  Any help would be appreciated.  Mark

Hi Mark
   
   If you require the Rubber trumpet / Cone that seals the Steering colunm with the Bulkhead / Fire wall for a AC Ace, 25 units were produced some three / four years ago. ( Exact copy as per Thames Ditton , Ideal for those who must be 100% correct for Concours )
   
   Try Brian Eacott he had half the batch made,  price when produced was £25.30 yes,! Twenty Five Pounds,  I haven't fitted mine yet, its still wrapped up and in the workshop. Must get round to fitting this winter.
   
   Brians  Eacott's  tel number  00 44 (0) 208 397 8472.
   Address:   12, Lockwood Way, Chessington,Surrey, KT9 1XT. England.
