Rear subframe bush dimensions & photos - rover 75

[The Mighty Quinn]

First off, I know my vernier is rubbish

There are 4 bushes in the rear subframe - 2 (close together) at the front and 2 (further apart) at the rear. The 2 at the front are a different part number than those at the rear.
BOTH TYPES ARE NLA.

All 4 bushes have the same fundamental dimensions for fitting purposes from what I can see, but the 2 at the front have a different central structure than the 2 at the rear - the steel bolt hole sleeve is thicker in the front 2 bushes and the rubbers have 2 cavities (not packed with rubber like the rear 2).

The bushes are slightly narrower at the bottom (for entry to subframe) and wider at the top - in order to allow them to "wedge" into position, I imagine.

OK, FRONT BUSHES FIRST:

DEPTH (including steel lip): 56mm.
OUTER DIAMETER (at bottom): 56mm (ASSUMED).
OUTER DIAMETER (at top): 57mm (ASSUMED).
STEEL BOLT HOLE - INNER DIAMETER: 10.5mm.
STEEL BOLT HOLE - OUTER DIAMETER: 26mm.
CODE/NUMBER ON TOP OF RUBBER ON RIGHT FRONT BUSH: W17824-8 ().
CODE/NUMBER ON TOP OF RUBBER ON LEFT FRONT BUSH: W17824-18 ().
