Does anybody manufacture such a thing? I only know of the usual suspects (Super Flex, Poly Bush, Flo-flex and Rimmer Bros). I wonder if they've been hand made on a lathe or something like that.

think I've got a unused set in the garage - they are from Jamie at Sprint spares and are solid hard plastic material.

Travelling at the moment - back first thing wednesday. Will have a look and if I can find them will let you know.

Dont need them as my car is polybushed.....

Easy project for a jobbing engineer to knock some up for stock if there's a pattern set available...

Have found the set I bought when my hair was thicker and my jeans were smaller!


Quite happy to donate them to the club to have them retro manufactured

Just let me know where to send them.
On my travels again for the next few days will send them when I get back.
