Any joy bud?
You could try minitorque, those boys always are always ripping MINIs to bits, especially suspension :-)
or
I have gotten quite a few bits from
http://www.minisparesuk.co.uk/ Lads are rock solid, fairly reasonable and normally ship same day.
If your having grief getting shipping to Southern Ireland send me a PM, can possibly arrange to get them sent to Aberdeen and I will bring them back to Ireland.
