i have decided to sand blast the shell so thats gonna be fun.

Are the tie bar bushs bigger on the td?

yes

Oh, so you need the mounts aswell ?

no 100 per cent sure I have them anyway but I think they are the same

Just bought petrol bushes for mine, they came today and are the same as the TD

another bit done tonight. removed the loom from engine bay then brake pipes and m/c servo.
