suspension bushes

[rocket_man]

Anyone know where I can source some rubber bushes for front lower wishbones of a MkII Sumo. MOT Failure with all this good weather too!!!
I know they are Mk4/5 Cortina originals and have tried John at Kit-fit (he has none) plus a couple of other sources locally to me in Cheltenham with no luck. Pilgrim have some but are being slow in responding to me with a price.
The alternative is to use polyurethane(?) ones from Superflex. Anybody know what they are like - do I have to use all polyurethane bushes or can I mix them with the original rubber ones.

They must have moved to new premesis, they are still only 5 mins away from me though. Tried to get a full set of bushes from them for my RS Turbo years ago. But gave up after being messed around for weeks.

No doub't they have go it together now!

The ones I want are at the inboard end of the lower front wishbones where it joins onto the chassis.
I tried to ring Deflex yesterday. The guy who answered the phone number given on the web site said that he had sold on the part of the business that dealt with car bits! Ther eis no answer on the number he gave me to ring instead.
