I've also got one of these waiting to go on, but also noticed the firm on ebay concept racing I think ?, also sell the aeroquip type fittings at a good price, might even get some although not into these they are good and can't ignore the price.

You can still get the bushes from Ford. There are three in the area::

Rubber - £1.44

Plastic - £1.67,

The other plastic one - £2.15

Washer - 0.67p.

You'd be mad to pay that, as above there only few quid. Its probably only slipped down you mite be able to get away with just pushing it back in but for what its worth may as well change it.

There is NOTHING remotely flexible about the bulkhead bush, so I assume, as it's flexible this is the one that has a round disc of rubber in it between bulkhead and the rack itself, think 2 people need glasses ha ha!

I think he's talking about the flexible bush by the uj where the column meets the rack isn't he?

No longer available from Ford, i've tried!!

I have seen on here that someone adapted landrover ones as they were almost identical - if you are talking the rubber disc mate.

Woodfords are £50 as you suggest but uprated - never used one but Simon knows his stuff.

The land rover disco one is almost identical, and can be used, the major problem is the heat, rubber(land rover) will still crack eventually.
ha ha, I'm not the only one who needs shooting then, thought my madness was getting worse, feel a bit better now ha ha!!

I think concept performance, or concept racing whichever one is looking at poly diff mounts, so that could be good as well.
