You weren't looking in the correct place, I got a set from my regular specialist repairer (who also wrecks vehicles) the first time I asked.Quote:

For the bottom mounts, you could try someone like the Airbag Man in QLD (AIRBAG MAN | Australia's No. 1 & leading Air Suspension :: Airbags :: Air Springs Specialists) who makes kits for converting Defenders to EAS.

I was looking closer to home for most of that time.Quote:

The Airbag man also does complete kits to move the shock mounts. I would assume the top mount would be a similar grade metal to the lower mount.Quote:
