UK MANUFACTURE
PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS for your Classic
From SUPERFLEX
In 2010 Superflex decided it was in our best interests to make a transition to UK manufacture offering our customers many benefits .
Our UK manufacturing base has been operating since the 1970s which , combined with our 23 years experience in automotive suspension results in a formidable working relationship , especially when producing complex products involving bonding PU to metal .
UK manufacture also means faster supply lines with reduced carbon footprint and employment for UK workers .
Superflex now manufacture in ; 50 , 60 , 72 , 80 , 88 , 92 & 98 shore A to optimise performance and durability ( tolerance +/ - 3 points ). Our PU is vacuum flasked before pouring which means less air inclusions . We now have tighter production tolerances - PU is machined to within 0.2mm where required
Many production hardness grades are applied in various positions around the car , depending on the load in that location . We can make our bushes in firmer grades to special order or in a variety of colours . The default colour is black .
STAINLESS STEEL CRUSH TUBES
At Superflex it is our policy to supply stainless steel crush tubes with all our mainstream suspension bushes .
We are under no illusions that a smear of assembly lubricant will be sufficient to prevent premature wear and failure of bushes using Bright Zinc Plated ( BZP ) steel tubes in cold or wet climates - especially where the roads are salted .
In time , grease gets displaced allowing water to enter between the tube and bush as the bush flexes in use . When water enters , a ( BZP ) tube will start to rust . Once the surface becomes rusty it acts as an abrasive to the PU , clearances increase , more water enters , play develops and eventually the bush fails .
At Superflex , we are car enthusiasts and value our reputation . Help us to help you by choosing quality bushes with stainless steel tubes .
