Bushes for English axle trailing arms?

I need to replace all 8 bushes on the 4 arms but I can identify what they came from. They are currently rubber but I want to upgrade them to poly bushes ideally. The dimensions are as follows. 4off (axle end) are 22mm dia X 38mm outer bush width X 45mm crush tube length. The other 4 (car end) are 22mm dia X 35mm outer bush width x 40mm crush tube width. The tubes are 12mm bore but I can make these at work.

I've asked a few eBay companies but had no replies yet. Had anyone got any ideas? I'd even just put rubber ones in there for now if I knew what they were.

Try rally design I'm sure they do poly bushes in those sizes...

I will have to give them a call, I have had a reply from superflex and it's an odd size! Typical.

I just stumbled across this, has anyone tried machining their own bushes?

I have found a guy on eBay that sells just the bushes with crush tubes and an outer tube for £17 so it's the cheapest option. seller:halex86
