bushings for a '71 246 euro Gt

Does anyone know much about these bushings? I removed my front suspension & they say "fanbloc riv" "brev" I suspect that these are pretty standard parts and should be easy to get. I think they are expensive but I can't figure out why. I see lots of them advertised for US cars. They are 46.77mm long, 34mm wide (at the innner end ),30.80 mm wide at the outer end and the inner diameter for the bolt is 11mm. Thanks

I bought all replacements at superformance UK.

I think they were about $400 all in for a complete front/rear set.

I shopped around, and never found anything less expensive.

You will need to grind off the two small welds before pushing the bushes out, I used a "Dremmel" and cutting discs which is a hobbyshop type drill with a flexible drive shaft (I dont know what is available where you are) I did all mine with a large vice and i must say a hydraulic press would have made life easier! when you push them out make sure you save the spacer washer behind each ones shoulder. Whilst they are off you may as well have the arms stove enamelled and then then tack weld the new ones back in.
Dont do this before stoveing as the heat of the process would not be to kind to the rubbers or am i stating the obvious!

See? Just like Graham said!
Now, how's the interior project coming along? When you have a chance, fire us a couple of progress reports.
Thanks &...
Cheers,

Jacques at MaseratiSource.com has these for $300 for a complete front/rear set and they are the proper yellow cad color and made in Italy with markings.

Here is an example of one of his ads, although not specifically for the Dino, they are similar to the ones I bought from him, so used it as information only and contact him for the correct Dino bushes:

front end progress-
well it took me about six hours to totally take off the front end. I'll bet I spent 4x that taking the front end off my 246 GTS. I usually get things right the second time. I shot everything with PB blaster before hand and it was much better than WD40. The front right mounting fork was very tight (thanks to JS for the tips on that one!) and the steering rack was a pain but now its all off. I will have the front undercarriage repainted & reassemble the front end (will take longer than 6 hours for sure). Hopefully that will co-incide with me finishing the interior,dashboard & interior trim. I will replace fuel lines & other shot stuff & drive it over the summer. I will then pull the engine & re-do all that next fall. That is how it will go in theory anyway!
