Ideally yes but we're not relying on that as we're running earthwires.

Ah. So you're running singles?
That would explain the desire for continuous enclosure of the cabling.

True. Could be a bit tight In certain situations.
But the real star performer...
Ta da...
Facebay Eastbourne,a colleague has just picked up 16x 8ft lengths of used 3/4" and 3 carrier bags of fittings
For... the bargain price of ... £10
He reckons there's more than enough bushes and the rest being tatty/rusty will go for scrap.
Thanks to all for the brill ideas.

Final result on this:
3.5 mile round trip for a coleague to collect the bits. It was a couple of women clearing out fathers house, There turned out to be a lot more than the 16 lengths. He also purchased about a dozen 3m lengths of shallow strut, several quality street tubs of brackets/bolts etc and loads of part reels of singles - mostly LSF, whole lot £70.
Yesterday all new boxes have been fitted, including spacer washers where needed as new boxes are very slightly smaller than originals. Today they're due to be filled up with plaster.
In total they were a number of bushes short but used the long threads of running couplers and lock nuts as a substitute. This mornings trip to scrap yard £11 for scrap steel which the old conduit was about half of.
How does it go?... Where there's mook there's brass (bushes).
