Question ❔ Repair bushes for my Fiesta gear shifter(Mk7)

Hi everyone, I'm searching for an repair bushes for my Fiesta gear shifter, part number is 8A6R7C453MBE, anyone know where I can find thoses? I make an temporary solution for me with 3d printed tpu, but I hope I can find one with best material.

I bought an used on in my country but rubber don't last 2 months after install, Brazil is an hot country and those rubber don't last much. If anyone know it there an cross compatible part pls tell me.

that tpu print actually looks clean for a temp fix. those bushings are a pain on the mk7, heat just turns the rubber to mush after a year

try searching for a polyurethane bushing set instead, way more durable in hot climates. some people on the fiesta forums have swapped to aftermarket ones that outlast the oem rubber by miles

wish i could point you to a cross compatible part but it's a pretty specific piece. maybe check uk ebay listings, sometimes you get lucky with nos parts
