I'm sure there's more than one way of doing it successfully, but (given the awkward angles involved - ideally you'd "bend" the spring once it's in place, prior to raising the lower wishbone) I feel like there's a better chance of the spacer staying in place if it's stuck to the crossmember (and also anchored by the raised lip (to fit inside the ID of the spacer) on the crossmember) than the spring. Perhaps have a good look at it all once you have it apart, and make your own mind up?
If my friend were to look at it, he'd no doubt do a batch.
Another friend has a scrap crossmember, but there's a chance the isolators are still in one piece. They might either be a useful spare for someone, or a possible mold donor. Having said that, it's a simple shape (which I carefully measured before fitting), so you could probably 3D print (or even turn!) a pattern to use to form a mold.
cheers
