I'm not sure. Maybe you can do it via the magic "edit" button...

Or you could get some professional assistance:

Moderators!!! Man down!!!!!!

Success! The magic edit button worked after a fashion.

I shall have to find some stands, the only steel I have is very thin, any idea how much a set would cost, also having a look in my box of bushes they are different from those on Bob by the looks of things... I may have been sent the wrong ones but they look about the right size. These ones appear to not have a metal outer and the rubber is in two halves.

Capt. Black Adder to Bob: "Let me put it another way, Bob. You are a girl. And you're a girl with as much talent for disguise as a giraffe in dark glasses trying to get into a polar bears-only golf club."

They are poly bushes that you have.
Best not to use them, instead use the original Land Rover metal/rubber bushes. In time the poly bushes will get grit in around them and the suspension movement will cause them to wear the bush housings in the chassis.


Cheers, Mick.

I'd tend towards using original bushes too, though removing and installing them is much more difficult than poly bushes.

Mind you, I am sure that others would swear by poly bushes.

Thanks Garry. I'd forgotten how lovely Private Bob was.

Actually, I hadn't.

I may use the poly's for now as they are here in front of me, can replace them with originals at a later stage especially as these look nice and easy to fit and I could do with a definite win.

Also, Bob first appeared in Blackadder the second, though technically she was Kate, which is short for Bob!
