Do you have access to a prototype machine shop? I thought I saw somewhere you are in Vehicle engineering?
Hi Peter,

Not a bad idea - I could have got the guys in the workshop (yep, currently employed developing future engines for Jaguar Land Rover) to make something up, but as the OE part is known to work, readily available and reasonably priced (unlike a rear activa ram bush) it made sense to stick with it. That way my time can be better spent chasing leaks around the low-pressure return pipework... :lol:
