Any sources for such a kit are welcome or do motor factors stock them?

I wouldn't worry too much about acquiring all of the little bits and pieces for the shocks - I wasted a fair bit of time seeking these out when replacing mine, but realised upon removal of the old shocks that most of the ancillaries were still in perfectly serviceable condition.
Don't forget to get the bottom spring rubbers (item 14 on the Rimmers link) or some other similar protective material, so that the bottom of the spring isn't rubbing against the steel spring cup on the shock.
Most everything else can be reused (from what I remember, at least).
