As I can't get hold of Pastor now, and it's been getting silly dear too (not that I'd use it for spot spraying or weedwiping of course), I have opted for a mix of Hurler and Thrust after a few recommendations on here and elsewhere.
Price was actually fairly competitive on Farm Marketplace and it was my first order from there. Only delivered a few days ago, so yet to see if it's as effective as I'm led to believe.

Pivotal and prevail combined create pastor I believe if you want to create your own pastor

Ironically I’ve just done 4 knacpsacks full of pastor on nettles around the yard and buildings. Did 4 yesterday and all curling over dying today
It’s now pas + tor

I’ve used those previously, but I’m told they’re unavailable currently too (& equally pricey previously).

Hand wiper and glypho? Not hard to make your own out of a paint roller.
So if I wanted a mix to leave in the bike sprayer for mainly nettles and thistles odd rush what’s a cost effective combination.
Sounds like hard work though

They are expensive but also they are a larger pack size than some of the alternatives.
You only need prevail and then add a generic fluroxypyr to make pastor.

Prevail is basically thistleX.
Pivotal is the doxstar alternative.
Thrust is expensive but would be cost effective if used in knapsack form.

Just use thrust.
Does Thrust kill nettles?
I think Grazon is for nettles and thistles.
Thrust is for thistles and rushes.
If that’s right can the two chemicals be mixed to finish off all 3 suspects?
It’s above my pay grade and we just use Grazon in bike tank, then separately Mcpa for the few rushes which remain here.

Thrust applied from a knapsack will have a very good go at most things- the dose rate per target plant will be far higher than from a normal sprayer.
A lot of these chemicals can be and have been mixed before. I'm just not that familiar with grazon as it is a knapsack product so don't see why you would want to mix it particularly. From memory there used to be a 2,4D and triclopyr product so doubt there would be much of an antagonist problem.
2,4D will have a go at rushes. MCPA is not the only game in town. From memory dicamba also has activity on rushes.
