4 - Went down the red powerflex route, findings... much better than the yellow bush as it doesn't throw up as many vibrations but it was tight and felt solid. As solid until the day it popped from the mount and made me think I had a grinding auto gear box!

Did you paint that mount black or was it that way when you started? As I recall mine was just bare metal. Could the mount you fitted the powerflex in to have been non standard, leading to it popping out in the way it did? Also the lateral grooves around the inside diameter don't seem the same, could they have been opened up a bit to make insertion easier? I seem to recall mine being more pronounced than in your pics.
