R1 shock bushes !

leaving aside the discussion around whether an R1 shock is suitable for a Lambretta, if you are going to use one [and I do] do fit some decent bushes, so not like these :
the top one was totally off centre and had a bit of rubber wedged around halfway, the bottom one was just steel. And this was on a scooter that allegedly has had £10,000 spent on it... :shocking:
new bushes ~ thanks shocky, excellent service ~ now fitted, with spacers made up to fit behind the shock.

I'm after some advice on where to buy R1 bushes from. I've been trying to get hold of Absolutely scooters but haven't heard anything back from emails or PM's through here.
Thanks
