Have you tried David Gerald ?

They keep a fair bit of old TVR stuff plus think they had most of TVR Car Parts stock.

Other option might be Adrian @ Exactly TVR, he seems to be able to source or have re-manufactured all kind of obsolete and old parts.

Are you sure the bushes are worn, it could be the bobbins sitting loose in the body/sill

But could be accurate, I ordered new bushes and bolts, when I started to replace I found that the top bobbin on the offside was loose in the body, on the nearside both of the door locating bolts were loose (finger tight) both problems had allowed the doors to drop.

Didn't need the new bushes at all, ah well you live and learn.
