Where did that one come from? The original is black rubber, I have used a metro one before now as a replacment if you are looking for one.

Honestly I don't know where it came from.
I have owned the 360 for about 9 months and the previous owner owned it for 16 years regularly serviced it and wrote down everything that was replaced. But I can't find this in the notes so it's a bit of a mystery. I have found one for sale in America but it's universal fit but I think so is the broken one. Atleast the one I'm going to buy is bonded rubber on metal not polybush rubbish, which has torn with wear. I was looking on V3M and they say that pug 504/505 citreon BX and a couple other cars have the same one. Had to go metal-metal to get it home (vibrates a bit apparently. I haven't had a look yet), didn't want to leave it in the middle of town by the bars on a friday night. |

Yer maun is a bit far away from them, so he is
Pop over to V3M and search. There's an aftermarket part number floating around there along with cross-reference vehicles. |

Atm it's got about 5mm steel plate holding it together and it's holding fine and is in fact lighter steering now due to the fact that there's no polybush to stretch and there's no more vibrating at low speed.
I might just make one that looks genuine. Was looking on ebay last night and as Dai said the Austin/MG Metro one looks very much the same, so I might even get one of those. |

Yea I've yet to look at mine but even if you make one exactly right out of metal and paint it black most wof places won't check it anyways. I may even do that at some point myself. but yea its a bit broken.
