hydro suspension parts 6.9 - parts question

Hi

Not wanting to hijack another thread on hydro suspension parts NLA availability, I have started this one.

Currently have one of my 6.9 semi-dismantled. I have been replacing some rubber components. However the rubbers on the front suspension between the car body and top of the strut look very fragile from  oil damage and age. Visited the local Merc dealer who advised that the front rubbers between the body and strut NLA. So before I do some work and stuff up what I have, does anyone know if there are any of these still around......or do you think it is possible to get some made. Wont start this part of refurbish/clean if I run the risk of having a non functioning vehicle.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Andreas, you are at the right place  8) TJ450 says he is upgrading his rubbers on his 6.9 he drove a cross Australia and back, drop him a PM as he got his somewhere. Give the guys at the Irvine Classic Centre a call/email, they are in the USA California and are very well connected for parts with fingers in Germany.
