Bushes (Cortina)

Like most people using a Cortina donor, I have spent many hours locked in the workshop loosing copious amounts of time, sweat and blood replacing fords amazing disintegrating bushes and I hope I never have to go through that hell again!

Only now I’m really stuck.
I need the replace the D type bushes for the end of the rear anti roll bar any idea where I can get some from?
I also need to work out how to fit the front sub frame bushes that go between the Tie Bar and the front Anti-Roll Bar with that elongated cotton real thing that separates them. Looking at the 8 shaped bushes there appears to be no way to get them through the hole in either the component. Ive tried the Superflex Grease, getting the hot in the oven etc and I am completely stuck. Has anyone managed this feat and if so are they prepared to break the code of the magic circle and tell me how to do it?
Regards

Superflex at Here do all suspension bushes for cortinas Mk 1 to 5 as well as Escorts and Sierras. Excellent bushes for tightening up your suspenders.
Doh. If you have their grease I guess you know about superflex already.
