It certainly is
 The mounts were £45 each, and there are 8 of them - one top and one bottom on each corner. Bizarrely 7 in stock in the UK, and one had to come from Germany  I'll check whether the tool will fit the rear bushes later  Those look to be about the same price each as the fronts but there are only 4 of them.

The rear bushes are a different design so this tool won't fit them. I could certainly look at making something though if you do want to replace them. I'd just need a bush to work with

Ah, that's a shame. Thanks. Probably be a few months before I have the job done so I'll let you know nearer the time.

Another new thing - a tool to remove stuck ABS sensors without damaging them.
Start with some thick-wall alloy tube  Turn it down to 17.5mm - just smaller than the sensor  Trim to length  Complete  This is how it works

11 out of 10 for ingenuity.
I need to show this stuff to my daughter, who is an engineer. Though Civil not Mechanical, so really big stuff in the ground!  This is one she did earlier:

She led the design on all the groundworks stuff, including IIRC access roads, drainage, foundations, services etc.
A separate team did the building structure (it's an unusual space frame) and others again the contents/rides. Did a similar job on this, though no longer involved and construction is far from finished:  Anyway, I'm digressing. Back on topic I'm finding this all fascinating and the skill levels MJ uses are amazing.
