And nope i can't find anyone who's fitted later VA bushed arms even in the US! I cross checked the base plates (bought both to check it) and they line up perfect...so I'm convinced it's doable

partsouq even sell the rear bushes seperate so you can retrofit VA bushes into the GV arm

You can see the longer collar/spacer spacer VA bush

Had a recent issue with coolant temps all over the place, shooting up and falling back again.
