Hi, have you tried Mitsubishi direct?
The parts dept at the Stirling dealership have been quite helpful in the past if you can give them specific part numbers.
I had a quick look here for numbers but couldn't find what you need quickly (and I don't actually know specific model numbers for your van etc) but worth some further investigation.
Also this might also be of interest on the US forum:

Oh and if a local dealership can't help, I've ordered stuff through Amayama in the past:

Essentially, this would involve shipping from UAE or Japan (so shipping costs ££ + extra "admin fees" for customs etc) but it does work. _________________ 1992 L300 Exceed "Selma" |

If you mean the big, circular mountings; mine gave away from deterioration a few years ago with vibration at certain speed during acceleration. I cleaned them up as best I could, then splurged black rubber gutter mastic (not silicone) into the recesses, and tidied/smoothed it in with a wet finger. It has done the job and passed MoTs without comment for at least three years. If yours is suffering similarly, it might do you as a temporary fix until you find the required bushes. It also makes a good seam and window sealant. _________________ Andy C L300 Super Exceed - over 100 smiles per gallon! |

Deffo need new ones. Have ordered the Nissan ones so will have a go at fitting them next month when I’m back from my holiday. |

Though Andy used gutter stuff, maybe you may want to try a Silicone product.
