The car already had some hair cracks. I know that sooner or later I would have to replace some mounts. Oooor the chassis will soon be fully replaced by carbon chassis

Carbon chassis won't be that easy you need several parts that are no longer available or come very expensive.
aka J-parts & alloy mount parts, It should be possible to 3D print the needed J parts and the alloy bits can be DIY
It could be cheaper to buy a TopForce

ok one of the top rubber seals was broken. I didn't like what I saw inside though the dampers felt quite good. Turns out that the 17.5 silicone shock oil I ve used is too thin. Feels too thin also. I was advised on FB totry a 30 grade.
The Felt good and more appropriate to the weight of the car(just by hand) but Ive found a very thick greasy oil inside.
Cleaned them as much as I could.

Waterbok. the metal mounts won't be that hard to make given that a friend has a very big lathe in his workshop. just need a list of them height and diameters. can drill axles and create threads inside them.

Not sure what plastic parts you're referring to...
