Are the bushings same as stock, only made from a different material (delrin)? If that's the case, I've reshaped bushings before using a lathe and file/sandpapers. The inner diameter would be difficult though, probably would need to start with a source bushing having matching inner diameter.

No, they're different. Shaped to perfectly fill the gap and thicker. Driver and passenger sides are different too IIRC, it's been a while.

This is for the RC pair.. no clue what the ridiculous BB one looks like but im assuming based on his animosity that its identical

It's the same, with an additional channel with an o ring in it.

If anyone still has some that aren't installed I would be happy to make CAD files available for people to bring to any machine shop and get made.
