1972 GT V6 MANUAL CAPRI REAR CONTROL ARM BUSHES

Hi Guys
 
can anyone send me dimensions of the actual 4 Control Arm Bushes that sit in the 2 arms from Rear Axle Housing to Floor u/side please ?...............   I believe 2 are different to the other 2 ?  ........  As I have a lathe, and a ridiculous surplus of various assorted bushes, I'm hoping to make a few sets.    Are all 1969-72 Capris the same in this subject, regardless of engine or tranny?   Prev owner fitted Poly Bushes which have seen no road use but are "crumbling",  as longevity was their last thought when these were invented. I even have (NOS) Poly Bushes from Mackay still new in their box: "CRUMBLING"!
Funny how to this day, every Manufacturer of cars I know, still use Rubber/Steel from new !
If no info, may have to remove mine and experiment while not being able to drive "Stephanie Plum" ! (sad, now that we have 25 kms!)

    I have these made by a local manufacturer in Brisbane.  The rubber is adhered to the outer sleave and to the inner steel tube.  These have been in capris for 8 years now with no failures.
    A little tricky to fit arms back onto axle due to bush preload settings.
     
    Regards
    John.
