Newbie looking for Poly Bushings for a C

I rebuilt my '68 C roadster in '94. My son learned to drive in it and used it for a spare vehicle when his Ford kept breaking down. At any rate, the front suspension is extremely tired. I want to make it fun to drive again. I can find poly bushings for every B ever made, but the C bushings are tough to find. I sure would appreciate some recommendations. When this one is done maybe I can re-start the '69 C-GT that I've partially disassembled. What can I say? I've got an understanding wife. And the C-GT is technically hers. Thanks in advance for the response and the advice on how to use this forum.

If you find them, let me know as my '68 MGC could also use upgrade!

About 10 years ago, my C's waterpump went south taking the fan, radiator, and pulley along for the ride. I was quoted $169.95 for a new waterpump from a domestic supplier. I contacted Bromsgrove MG Centre in England and purchased 2 waterpump rebuild kits, a new fan, a new pulley, and paid freight for $165 and change. Their web address is: https://mgcentre.co.uk/
Today I noticed on their website they offer nylon suspension bushing kits. This may be the answer I've been looking for.
