So have a few jobs lined up over winter including replacing pas oil cooler before it rusts through completely and change front lower control arm and radius rod bushes to poly.
Looking at a Mishimoto universal cooler are there any other options?
Pedders now only do an adjustable castor bush kit so looking at either Whitline, Superflex or Superpro anybody used them and are they available through Walky?

Many years ago I replaced my pas cooler with a standard one. Before fitting I gave it a coat of paint then sprayed it over with a rust proofer, it's been fine ever since.
You could try a universal stainless steel job and just make up a couple of brackets to hold it in. Any company that supplies parts for rally or kit cars should be a good place to look.
I've fitted Pedders bushings to my car and they are lasting well. If you are doing the lower control arms just buy the complete arm, you get new bushings and a ball joint pre fitted ready to bolt in.

Walkinshaws can defo help you with your PAS cooler as I got one fitted to my Monaro earlier this year. It is a good quality one. Not sure of the manufacturer but its the compact mini cooler (AC Delco type) one and not silly money either. A big improvement on the OEM one and looks better too. They might be able to help with the bushes as well.

Don't suppose you could give a rough price for the cooler? Not fitted, just the part? scratchchin

The OE cooler cost me £100.00 back in the day! so that's your starting point.
