Thanks for heads up Max.

Superflex has always been my prefered supplier of suspension bushes, but of late Powerflex have been very active bringing out stuff for newer cars and they do some engine mountings that noone else does.

Shame. Hope it does not affect them badly.

Yes,

The damage is not as bad as it could have been. They seem to have salvaged a fair bit of stock/tooling. They are operating from another location temporarily and trying to resume near normal service asap.
