If you know of some well stocked outlet please post the info. Don't remember the exact dimensions but they are not a standard size and not quite as fully rounded as the motor types. They are solid hardened steel around 3/16 thick by around 5/8 to 3/4 diameter with the center hole to fit the rod end. I looked at all the usual places that sell bushings in less than ridiculous quantities. Found nothing with the odd dimensions as everything that might have worked had one or two dimensions that didn't. I finally turned a steel rod in the lathe to inner and outer dimensions and then partially rounded the edges before cutting off the thickness to finish the rounding. Mine is not hardened like the originals but figure since like the 56, the 47 will never leave the garage while I own it any excess wear would not be an issue for years to come.
