Today i have fitted the Old Man Emu castor correction bushes that came with my lift kit.
I went for the chain drill method and punch out the centre, then slit the outer with a hacksaw and knocked it out.
Poly bushes in one arm.
Made sure they were both equal

I now know how to buy them and I did buy more than 1 
I am considering how to put them in the store without exposing me (and the customers) to risk.
The key issue is the long lead time. Anyone wanting one may have to pay and then wait 12 weeks. The price could vary due to exchange rates and import duty (this could add a lot if they are stopped).
During the 12 week wait, a cheap Chinese copy could be developed and the customer might lose interest. Mine are expensive as they are Suzuki parts and come through the retail chain - £510 before UK import duties at the moment. But at least there is a pathway to getting them.
