Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a couple of engine mount rubbers from quickly?

The engine is out of my car to put a new clutch in and one of the mount rubbers fell apart when the engine was lifted out.

Caterham are out of stock and not expecting more in until the 1st week in August.

Redline are out of stock.

My panic is that I'm booked on a track evening at Brands next Thursday that I don't want to miss.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Tried the race teams? McMillan, Hyperion, Team Parker etc? (I may be out of date with the last two!)

Chris, I forgot to add that someone I know with a few contacts tried some of the teams for me. With the racing over the next few weeks no one was too keen on risking not having spares.

They are Jaguar mounts... 340 or E type...
I got my last set from a Jag specialist. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that, I've had a look but I'm a bit nervous about the comment about them being marked with red paint. Maybe that's how they mark faulty ones as they go through quality control? That might just be me being paranoid though.
