Hi arrimar. I can't recall where I got mine but they are not entirely round, which the Rares once seem to be. The top is flat so that they sit snug and don't foul on the top. Here's a pic. Cheers Ron

I think mine might be Whiteline. Cheers Ron

If those bushes are anything like the Rack Boots I got off Rare Spares (Kelpro) for my LX, they'll be garbage.
I have i think Super Pro in my rack, no troubles.
FYI the Rack Boots from ToranaRPA are fantastic, exactly like the originals and perfect fit. If they do the bushes and you're after original style, I'd check to see if they have them.

Not only do they not have the flat side, they are not even close to the correct size. Inside or outside diameter.
I took them back and purchased Whiteline ones as above. Perfect.

They won't be, that Red Bush requires use of the steel insert tube.

The stack height looks good. Resized_20200603_151516.jpeg 188.54K 4 downloads
The original steel tube matches the inner diameter.

The nut goes on easy and with some compression I hope it'll fill out nicely.

I think the aftermarket ones use a narrower tube.

Tube is wider than the aftermarket ones with a plastic insert that grips the bolt. Pretty smart.
The original rubbers I pulled out don't have a flat spot. Yes they are deformed from being squashed.
I know what aftermarket ones look like. Doesn't mean they were direct copies of the genuine part.
I'll bolt it all up and see what happens when they're under pressure.
If they're shite I'll let Rare Spares know.
