Help! R151F shifter bush kit in UK, plus who is the 'go-to' parts source for LJ70s?

[Rusty Bottoms]

Hi everyone, as I'm new to owning the LJ70 I'm looking for a shifter bushing kit for my R151F gearbox as mine is sloppy.

It is only a nylon bush and a nylon seat, (sometimes with a metal cap included) but the only place I can find it is in Spain and shipping is 25 Euro for this tiny package costing only 16euro! Its available in the US, but shipping would probably be about the same.

I rang rough trax, and they said it's dealer only in the UK, surprising for such a simple part that probably gets replaced frequently, as it's a common part across a range of Toyota gearboxes.

Anyone know where to source this in the UK? Is there a 'go-to' shop in the UK that does the LJ70 stuff besides rough trax?

Cheers

Yep, they do the small bush for like £1.60 and the entire shifter housing with new bush for £28, great, thank you!!
