We got then from Graham Walker Ltd and he was able to supply an extra one after we destroyed the first one, add Fairy Liquid to the hot water on the list a big vice and various socket heads and luck, when they go they just pop in when they don't, they don't.
On the front suspension we replaced the roll bar drop links, all the bushes sleeves and washers (re-used some bolts) the trunions, top ball joints and the wheel bearings which cost just over £200 including overnight delivery.
Still got to look at the front end for brakes and steering rack, It would appear that the original discs were man enough and even when uprating to a V8 so with the reduced body work weight they should be fine. Madmark told me the other day that SD1 callipers will go onto the SE5a which means I think XJ6 front callipers will work, we have yet to look into breaks.
