I'm not sure if I've already asked this, but if I have, I can't find it.

Does anyone know where I can get a new centre pivot for the watts linkage that doesn't already have bushes fitted to it? I've already got new LR bushes, and after replacing the bushes in the rear radius arms, I'd like to avoid the hassle of trying to remove the old bushes, and just fit the new ones to the centre pivot, and throw the old one in the bin. The scrappies over here never seem to have any Landies as they're always broken up by their owners, and even then, good parts are like hens teeth.

He breaks D2s for a living & is very happy to post - although I guess it may cost slightly more than within mainland UK. Always very good service!

BTW it's not me! I'm just a very happy customer.

I've recently changed all my watts bushes including the link arms.
Paid £30 at a local garage to have old ones pressed out and new ones in. The lad reckoned he got the old ones out the centre pivot with a bench vice. So maybe worth a try with a vice if you've got access to one if it's proving difficult to source one without bushes
Cheers

Edit I did clean all the rust of the centre pivot and soak it in light machine oil for 24hrs prior
