Looks like the same as these ones on sale here: https://cliosport.net/threads/mike-arter-top-mounts.846232/
Fellas name on eBay is indeed Mike.
Just as a follow up, I bought these after finding the guy on FB.
Quality is fantastic imo. Fitting to the shock was easy. Fitting to the car was just drilling 3 x 8.5mm holes each side. Car is still on axle stands at the minute but all looks great. The spherical bearing is ptfe maintenance free, and is bigger than competitors (so I'm told). Also replacing the bearing in the future is easy, either return to the seller for a small fee or they tell you what bearing to buy to DIY.
I will update again when I get the car on all 4 wheels and take it a run.

Not IME. I couldn't get them to tighten up, the smallest gap between the rings was 2mm, the steel thickness was 1.8!
The gap between my top caps and turret is around 15mm. Way too much. Car body bounces around on uneven roads (most of UK roads then)
My other solution is the machine some 12mm thick large spacers to sit under the top mount bearings. This would take up that slack hopefully.
Thanks for sharing your experience mate. Very helpful.
When you have them fitted I would love to hear your feedback.
Do you think these solid mounts would be too harsh for road use is my main question. Cheers.

I sent those Gaz mounts back, didn't even try fitting em.
Just fitted some rubber rings under top mount caps, removes all that slack. Haven't driven car yet though.
