Hi Jesse.

We have a member who imports parts from the UK so he may have most of the parts you need. His name on the forum is Avengerparts (http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=10)

When I restored my '75, I got Graeme (Avengerparts) to import some of my window rubbers. the rest I got locally at Reid & Twiname http://www.retwine.co.nz/ (http://www.retwine.co.nz/)

The suspension bushes I used are nolathane but you can still get rubber ones.
