Default Fuel pump cradle polly bush mounts, where from?

Ive got a non rusty fuel pump cradle and want to replace the bush mounts on it as they're shagged.

Someone told me, plus sure ive seen polly ones on other cars but after spending 10mins typing various things into google im none the wiser.

Anybody got a link please?

Cheers

As far as i am awre these have never been obsolete as in my 10 years as a ford partsman in main dealer they were available and in the last year I have ordered quite a few and they always been available. I might be wrong though and missed a few months out. No matter though

i think some of u have got the wrong idea of what i want. Im not talking about the bobbings which grip the fuel pump, im talking about the 2 big doughnut rubbers that are on the fuel pump cradle plate that the bolt goes through and into the chassis.

I will be in touch, i have located a cradle so if there on there all good.

Also found out that you can use vauxhall fuel filter dampers that cost 2 quid each and do the same job of stopping the vibration of the fuel pump.
I think any astra, corsa ones will be fine.

Polyurethane doesn't machine too well from what i've been told mate, 90 shore A is a minimum, and its a pretty harsh material for a fuel pump cradle (pump will be bloody loud), im getting a few made up for my car as we speak lol! to see what they are like because i was getting desperate. Will let you know how they turn out.

Any luck with the diff mate?

Rob,

They look good, not sure if they are the same OD etc, may be better off in two halves rather than one bush, will take pics when mine come.

I'll measure my old ones when i go to where my cars stored at the weekend. Those cosworth ones look a different shape tbh, but may well do the job.

These bushes are already made by rsspares.com The lad who runs it is a good bloke and I have bought many parts from him. He has an ebay shop but if you google rsspares it will bring up his website. The site is a bit basic but the quality of the bushes are very good, as I have personally seen them. Ł10.95 + p&p which is a couple of quid I think and they come with new nuts too.

LOL, the pics always make it look worse, but as you say, it's no wonder they get so bad. Luckily for my one, it really is a wire brush/paint job to sort it.

guess i'll have to order these cossie ones then and see if they fit. Why is nothing simple on these cars or readily available. I used to work at a jaguar restoration place and for a old 1960 xk u could get nearly every part new from various companies that reproduce parts. Guess its supply and demand and not many people want to produce parts for a old mk4 escort.
