They exist
Just need to find the numbers again
Dundee has the numbers
From a couple of threads on 1200.com
datsun 1200 lower control arm bushes on my upper control arms but I had to enlarge to inner hole to about 14mm diamater. I tried several methods to do this as it is F A R harder than it sounds. I froze the bush, inside the old rubber housing, in the freezer then drilled them with a blade bit in an electric drill at maximum rpm. The lower bushes are from a Ford Transit van rear leaf spring shackle, and I reduced the thickenss of the flange on a belt sander.
If my memory is correct I used:- 1200 lower control arm bushes for the 1000's upper control arm bushes- Ford transit van rear leaf shackle bushes for the lower control arm bushes and I sanded the flanges down a bit on a rotary sander, but any old sander will do. I also asked Red Ranger for a larger crush tube and shortened it to fit inside the cross member and drilled the cross member to take 12mm bolts.
