I'd establish which version is already fitted to your car, and perhaps duplicate it. although it almost certainly wont be the one fitted when the car was built.

The first version is oil filled, and has shock absorbing characteristics, for smoother clutch take up/gear changes etc.

2nd version is just a solid rubber version, just less refined...

I'd go for the first option

isnt the pure rubber one a little more hard wearing thsn the oil filled one?
