I used oil impregnated bronze bushings from the hardware store. Measure the ID and OD and you should be able to find something that matches at Ace or Lowes. Better shifter feel too since they're solid.

Thks for the pic, I like the brass sleeve idea, I will try that with my 3speed build...

Did you use a washer on each side of the bronze sleeve? The ones I just knocked out while removing the rods were metal and rusted to heck, not plastic maybe originals...

you can get small bronze bushings with a face on one side.
