Yup, I'm an idiot, read it but apparently didn't absorb what I'd read. Thanks, I've found it on DMGRS offers but perhaps not 'original' since the description mentions a change of material from OEM. I'll take a look at Rimmers before I buy though.

I am presuming that the stats with the stability pegs are no longer available ? i found these out back in late 2013/early 2014 which i used on my 190 after the original MG ones failed after 18months fitted by Lates.

So i fitted the ones below through keyhole and they lasted for 6yrs and until the car was used has spares.

I note that ECP seems to have a photo of them in their listing but am not sure if it's just that a photo, do not know what you receive if purchased.

I've sent a message asking Nick if that is in fact what you receive waiting on an answer.

If it is just that a listing photo then personally i think it needs removing because it is a false alarm for what you may be expecting.

PS.
I have got a reply from Nick at ECP which is below.

( That’s a very good point as I’d usually send the original Rover part but I can see the photo shows the SAIC alternative with the supports, but I do have one in stock see picture of actual one I could send if you ordered today. Please note we’ll be closed for a few days after today.
Regards
Nick).

So I'm again presuming he has these ? waiting on confirmation after asking if he has more than one.

PS another answer from ECP.
If you order today, I only have 1 left and will end the listing afterwards as I didn't realise the old photo was still live.
Regards
Nick

Whilst it's a bit more work, I'd recommend removing the plastic intake and front (left) inlet manifold. With them removed you have much better access to clean the mating faces in the engine block (with some Scotchbrite or similar) that the o-rings sit in and you can be confident that it's all properly seated. You will need a new manifold gasket (LKJ100992) though.

Hope this helps.

That be these O-rings then.

Yes, from Motoclan Ltd., the new name for X-Part.

Thanks for posting this Steve. That was a brilliant modification (or "upgrade") by SAIC and such a shame that they're now unavailable.

It would be great if DMGRS could get hold of the tooling ...
