Just noticed a post on the Google Austin1800 Group page regarding the re-manufacturing of displacers.
I have just received an update on the remanufacture of the hydrolastic units. First the good news it appears that all of the original Dunlop documentation has now been found and good progress has been made with the development of the units by a "large automotive organisation" which is partnering the sponsoring company and I was told is very enthusiastic.
However, because of Brexit the R&D budget has temporarily, we hope, been reduced which inevitably means delays. As indicated earlier it is likely that the first units to be made available will be for the ADO16 (1100/1300) range which also fit the crab rears.
Next update will be mid year.

erk - "large automotive organisations" need to see market projections and cost breakdowns and modelling that shoes their costs recovered and then making a profit...
