Hi, currently refurbing the rear end of my scala, new tank, fuel pipes, pumps, shocks, brakes everything shot blasted and repainted will be replacing all rubber bushes but it seems difficult to get standard rubber rear beam bushes anywhere, it seems that you can only get poly, if this is the case which are the softest, as I don't want to end up with a boneshaker!!. Have tried gsf, heritage, crazy quiffs, any ideas folks.

Try searching for Golf MK1 rear bushes, they are the same. You could try VW themselves!
The part number is 161 501 537.

Thanks, vw don't have them any more, I was considering powerflex as they seem to be the most expensive and therefore probably the best, but would prefer rubber, i will check out heritage again, thanks for your advice.

I'm sure someone on here was rebuilding a beam recently and found some new rubber bushes. I can't remember who or where though, sorry.
