Now the original bushes are NLA though, I may have to just try it and see what happens.

You could try this place too: https://www.fibet.co.uk

I contacted them a few months ago when I had my rear subframe replaced and was struggling to get hold of a rear diff support bracket (I used one from a D3 in the end, which was a perfect fit BTW). Fibet were really helpful and were willing to make custom one-off bushes. All they required was the dimensions. They did warn me that the bushes may not perform the same as the originals (might be better, might be worse), given that the original bushes were a more complex shape. So, understandably, they made it clear that fitting them would be experimental and at my own risk.

They also stated "We don’t have a minimum order quantity just a carriage charge of £11 + VAT for order values below £150."

If you want to contact them, their general email address is sales@fibet.co.uk and the very helpful general manager I dealt with is a guy called Mike Connor: mconnor@fibet.co.uk
