Re: polybush bushes.
I have the "prothane???" kit on mine, think it was about £70 from GSF. Didn't instal the side engine mount inserts as they wouldnt fit but the front and back mounts helped launch loads as it eliminates the rocking of the engine under hard acceleration. also got rear arb bushes from crazy q...

Re: dimmer switch override?
