I just put a set on my '72 Spitfire also form BPNW. I put a lite coat of
copaslip anti-seize compound. This is the same stuff I use on my wire wheel
hubs. I believe it is available from British Wire Wheels in Calif. maybe other
places too.
So far no squeaks!

Subject: Installing Polyurethane Bushings
Hello All,
I ordered and received a polyurethane suspension bushing kit from British
Parts NW (who are very pleasant to work with over the phone) last week for
the TR-4A, and am ready to start installing the front suspension on the
bare frame. I had heard that one of the negative things of polyurethane is
that it squeaks. The guy at British Parts NW suggested putting
"anti-seize" on them before installation. Has anyone tried this? If so,
what brand? Or maybe there is another product that would work better?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
