Ok.. WTF are these??
Discussion
Was diddled,i think, on flea-bay a while back after buying these so-called 'Wedge Diff support bushes'.On removing my diff early this year, found they were different to the originals.
These ones are made by Metalastik and have the code 17/274.
I phoned the company who now own the name 'metalastik' and they confirmed they were 'metaacone' mountings which were now obsolete,but couldn't give me an application. They differ in that the centre mounting tube is cone shaped-13mm internal Dia' one end to 25mm the other. Otherwise they're very similar. I wondered if they were off another model?
Any Ideas?

They get used as anti-vibration mounts on machinery. IIRC the Jag XJ6 used something very similar as engine mountings.
As you say, it's usual for them to have a parallel bore when used on a car (at least a TVR) - the Tasmin trailing arms used a larger version as their front pivot, as did those on (surprise surprise) the Esprit.
