or cut the rubber out completely and replace with a lump of poly?

I guess poly could be fairly crude, and be a solid lump, but would have to go all the way up to the body enough to be tightened in, so to speak....or would that transmit noise? :-\

Thinking that through... Given the rest of the suspension is poly ::) nothing to lose...

Exactly how much space is there between the bush and the floor :-\

Another question for Monkfish...

Standard Monaro has a single central mount, different design rather than one Omega mounting :-\

However, Harrop diff cover has a different set up, so might be mileage there...

Only on standard diff cover. Similar design to Omega but has 2 bolts to the diff instead of one :y

Cars with Harrop diffcover don't use the original mounting, but I don't know how the diff is supported on such cars... There might be potential, but need to ask someone who knows :y

Gives a tucking feeling from the rear once it finally goes? Without loosing traction?

I suppose so. Not sure if it loses traction at the rear, but if not, there's a sudden application of rear wheel steering. That's what it feels like, anyway.

Nolathane 49156 might work with tweaking :-\

Pedders do one too, EP1156 I think, but the search function on Aussie site doesn't show pics, and the UK site is so shockingly poor it won't even entertain the part number ???

Have another idea in the pipeline... shall report back once done, broken mountings gratefully received btw :y

As a temporary measure, can't you degrease the best ones you have, and fill them with silicone to tighten them up a bit?
