You could try somewhere like Flo-Flex in Rhyl. They may have something that can be adapted or potentially be interested in the forthcoming sales potential from people in the same position as you.

Flo-Flex came back this morning with this question-
You would need to give us the dimensions so we could look if we had anything to match
Are these dimensionson on here or else where as I doubt if I could measure a fitted one on the Land Rover with much accuracy :stars

I went down this path a while ago and this is what came of it ...
The bushes are American spec RB-120 or GM part no- 3941634 / 472619.
The cost from the states was rather expensive, ordering from a UK American parts specialist was also rather expensive....
The original bushes are slightly too small in diameter so I pressed some standard bushes into some tubing from an old Ferguson TV stand (remember them) they are now just about the correct size.   I have not as yet fitted these because my other life keeps getting in the way so I do not know how they will fare.
Perhaps the more ingenious among-st us can come up with a better idea as regards to sleeving some standard bushes.

There is a set (enough for two springs) on ebay at the minute. Not mine, just spotted them.....
