I am getting old and hate to learn new things.  I just learned how to resize pictures so that they could be posted on this site.  I use an Android computer now after years of using Microsoft.  I like the computer but the picture resizing (I thought) was a challenge.  I did as Curtis suggested and downloaded a free resizing program and the above post is a example of that.  I will post more pics of the shock as I take it apart for analysis.  
Suffice to say that this shock and the bushings are significantly different than the earlier examples.  I do not know whether this mod of the lower busing solves the problem of bushings wearing out, but according to Moss it does.  It is a pity, as Graham has just revealed that the new shock does not accept the Superpro busing replacement that Moss Europe sells.  It is a bigger pity that they do not mention it on their website.

Graham,  Do you know if the upper replacement bushing kit from Moss Europe fits the latest shock offering from Moss?  The lower one certainly doesn't fit!

MOSS rep indicates that Superpro Part Number: TMG49025ASPK will service old and new shock.

Which Moss rep?  Kelvin?

Nope.....inquiries went to Moss UK (Mick Pratt)

Hopefully, it was good intel.

To all that uses Gaz Coil over shocks.
Me too have Gaz coil overs on the front suspension and a 4 link suspension with Gaz coil overs on the rear axle. The car is still on a rotissery so I have no experience or data about the lifetime of the bushings. I will investigate with Gaz in the UK about this issue. That is where I got the shocks from.
In the meantime I will keep looking for further news about this issue.
I have the Hoyle front suspension but not road tested it. The A arms are fitted with poly bushings from Australia.

Werner,  Welcome to the conversation.  I don't believe that you will have the same problem with Hoyle front suspension which uses a different shock.  I don't think there have been any issues with the Hoyle front suspension shock bushings.  In my conversations with Hoyle they use Autobush at present for the A arm bushings but previously have used the SuperPro from Austrailia.  If you are interested stay tuned for more information on the Moss Suspension bushing probems, history and what is being supplied.
