no i cant bloody find it either, and i posted a new topic on it myself. I got mine from first line and fitted solid senator bushes, as opposed to omega ones which have holes in to make them softer. Vx wanted nearly 90 sobs for a pair. Only advise, do NOT be tempted to lube them when fitting. They will squidge out. There is a special tool but i managed to get them in enough by reversing the triangular plate,(it looks all wrong until you do it) and spacing the arm away from the chassis with 6 and 8 mill allen keys iirc. It also helps to have air tools of somesort, i used an air ratchet, or your arms will fall off doing up the bolt to force the bush in. But i never got it fully home with this method. Maybe others will advise?

No mate thats for the pair from K-mac in oz, you may be able to get them direct & save a few £££

rubber ones i think are from euro car parts see this thread
