Just wondering if the "U" clamps that hold the rear ARB bushings in place are common to another car? I'm in West Australia and don't want to pay shipping on such a small item.

It may be easiest to get one made locally.

It that is the only part you need, then you are very lucky indeed

My suggestion would be to take the old one to a car parts supplier and see if they can find a close match to something they stock

Alternatively try a scrap yard, it's just a symmetrical pressed steel part that is likely very similar to any number of cars

Well I bit the bullet and bought a pair from racing green, their shipping is quite reasonable.

I have a large stack of new parts at home! Just need to find time to fit them all.
