Proper Polybush Grease source?

I having got ripped off in the past into buying low quality after market void bushes I am about to rebush the on of one of our Rover 75 using polybushes bought off a Bulgarian seller on eBay .

The two part design is a hard poly inner bush running directly in a softer outer bush.
More than enough grease was supplied to grease the bush but looking at the design I would like to modify it by drilling the outer steel housing and outer bush to take a grease nipple, but I don't know where to source enough of the puka polybush grease at a fair price.

If you "BT" cant find something like grease, how the blazes are we going to survive ??







Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

I think red rubber grease is what your after, it doesn't do anything nasty to rubber components.

Some types of silicone grease might be ok too.
