Rear Cross Member - Big Bush

[RobFairbrother]

Hello All.
Newbie here.
I'm currently undertaking the task of returning a 1996 V6 to the road (it hasn't seen it for over 10 years).
I picked this car up a couple of months ago and have been acquiring the parts to get things done.

Today I removed the rear Cross Member to get it off to be powder coated (whilst its off I will be treating the underside of the car to some tic).

Anyway my question is - there seems to be a wobbly rubber mount that joins a smaller bar to the main cross member. Is this part still available (so far google hasn't helped me)
If so is it a Vauxhall only part?
Part circled in photo (not my photo I hasten to add)

Thank you for your guidance.

Hello Rob

That's My pic lol

Not sure if you can buy the mount new I can check with my local dealer on monday

someone might have a good second hand one

You could even fill the mount with sikaflex or tiger seal to make it more rigid

I have found it on German EBay

A bit pricey though oooof. €120 + €35 postage

I will see what my local vauxhall dealership can do

I have just sent a message to SupaFlex bushes (they are based 10 mins from my house) to see if they would make a polyurethane replacement.

So the local company are not responding to me.
I have sent a message to StrongFlex as they already make a full compliment of Calibra bushes to see if they can make this one too.

In the meantime these have arrived. Just waiting on getting the cross member back from the powder coaters then the reassembly begins.

Ok so I have contacted 3 different companies about this bush and all have said they are not currently looking to make one.
Bugger!!!!

So I have had to resort to TigerSeal. I have squeezed a lot in there.
