"The original rubber parts were barrel shaped, a different shape from the current version. The latest type seem firmer and more solid around the mounting hole. This may mean that they are more effective and longer lasting. It does however mean that they are quite difficult to mount onto their metal brackets. Steve Hills didn’t manage to fit them by hand, so he gave the problem some thought and came up with a simple tool to do the job, as shown in this video."

That's because that's exactly what they are and always were, the BMC works team back in the day used to plunder the parts bins for needed items. Another part they used was a plug which allowed the quick release of the power to the auxiliary lighting, I have seen people today pay ridiculous money for one if they are building a works replica/copy car. The plug was originally used on early/in period land Rovers apparently, go to the right auto jumbles and you can buy them for a few quid.
