Two piece or one piece? - rubber or urethane ? What have been your experiences?

All of the one piece nolathane ones I've used have had to be converted to two piece before they fit.

Personally I have used both, the main reason I like nolathane is that it is easier to get the steady bar on the radiator side into the bracket on the firewall and thermostat housing. Other than that I've never particularly noticed much difference on a road car.

I have helped produce a One Piece type bush & we have a whole heap made & i think they`re just wonderfulll ,,, they are not like the Nolathane ones tho,

I have a box of them here & i have had them fitted to my own mini for well over a year & i`ve been fitting them to customers cars for about 6 months now & they`re just great

call me if you want a set but be quick because the company who we made them for ended up not wanting them so we`ve made the new ones 2 piece for them,,, but i think the one piece are far far better.,,, but that`s just me & my opinion... i never really did like the one piece ones of years gone by but this new type that we made are really really good.... I Love Them :-)

Edit--> Oh! & they are sooper dooper easy to fit
