Thanks Chris, but unfortunately no. I need the bushings that are actually
pressed into the rack. I have access to a press. In fact I have access to a
machine shop. If the bushings were round, I could have them made.
Unfortunately, the picture in my Bently indicates that they have a flat
side. I don't think my shop could make them, at least not without an
engineering drawing.
