Have you thought of a local high school? I don't know about now a days but you supply material they would do it for free. A friend with a lathe. Bushings are probably out there. Think you have to remove one to measure
and the pin is probably worn too. Problem with most machine shops is the shop rate and waiting forever unless
you have a friend that works there and whip them out on lunch break (I have done that before) sam

Unfortunately I don't have a buddy that has or runs a lathe. I am assuming it's a brass bushing on this.
