Strut rod bushings

Part No: K7040 looks like its a split pin no steel sleeve design for 67-72
wind on your castle nut until you can fit the pin

and they used to make a set with much the same parts as k7040 with a steel sleeve included
and a ny-lock nut instead of the split pin/nut

Interesting!

Bazza's VG didn't have a cotter pin on either end of the strut rod, and both ends just used a lock/crush nut. I thought this was a little odd at the time, as I'm used to '69-'71 Mustang suspensions/strut rods using castellated nuts and cotter pins, but I chalked this up to "the Australian Engineers are smarter than you, Jim", and I left well enough alone.
