OK,
So , I have kept looking and am now onto another manufacturer.

Now he has not seen the bushes yet, so this is only a rough guideline, but he is talking about $150 to set the tooling ( now I expect that would be times three for a full set ) and then depending on how much material is required, he expects around $20-$40 per bush.

I will get my arms to him in the next week (all going well) and see what he says then.
I will keep in touch.

that sounds better. I assume he will keep the tooling for later too?

i don't know for sure but assume the steel inserts might be hardened ? a touch with a file will see if they are

here is another place..... they claim to make custom suspension parts.... not sure just what they do make
