Metalastic bushes 1

Anyone know the website address of Metalastic Bushes. I'm finding all the old mechanical household names cannot be found by searching because they've been taken over by the big corporate companies. Bugger the engineers, look after the shareholders.

Afraid not, I'm after the Metalastic Company themselves, thanks

I think the Metalastic names was used by Dunlop for their vulcanized metal/rubber bushings.

I think the trouble is that the word Metalastic has become generic for anything composed of a rubber/metal/plastic combination. Like I have information on rubber metal gaskets from Parker that a called Metalastic.

You could try and find who owns the trademark or the company register.

I think Metalastik (with a 'K' at the end) is a registered tradename. Trelleborg supply Metalastik bearings, but I am not sure if they are the manufacturers. Try

http://www.trelleborg.com

for more info. You could email them.

I just googled Metalastik with a 'k' and came up with a number of apparently good refernces depending on your application,

Thanks guys - Trelleborg seem to have them now. I suppose if you spell it with a c instead of k you won't get far.
