The upper bushing looks OK, so I will leave it as is. The lower bushing is OK, but I would probably replace it if I had the option. I measured the ID as 7/8 and the OD as 21/32, although since I wasn't using a caliper, it might not be exact. However, nothing that McMaster-Carr sells in oil-impregnated bronze was even close, so unless someone has one laying around, I will just use the one I have. It should still be OK.

All surface rust has been removed using a fine wire wheel, so ready to go back together when I get the parts. Hopefully by Friday so I can make cars and coffee on Sat AM.
