Default Rear swing arm bushes

Before I fucked the car I had fitted a full poly-bush kit to the car.
When I stripped the back of the car before painting I had to sperate the swing arms from the hub, but the bolt was fucked, so ended up cutting the bush between the hub and swing arm thinking I could use some other bushes I had in another set of swing arms I had, turns out that there is two different swing arms and two different outer bushes. I've hunted Ebay and can only find a rear poly bush kit, does anyone know if I can just get the swing arm outer bushes on their own, as I don't wanna buy another rear end kit.
Cheers

what make of poly bushes do you have?

superflex and powerflex both list bushes seperately on their sites, so you can order just the ones you need

Yeah I found them on there later. But I've found the problem, my arms had superflex ones in the a steel outer sleeve which is now painted into the arm, so I've order the rubbers from superflex.
