Source for MFI throttle body parts
 

I have searched a bit and can't seem to find anything definitive. I would like to try re-bushing the shafts on some MFI throttle bodies, and am trying to find a source for the bronze bushings and seals. There is no separate part number for these in the PET I have. I have left a message at the well-known east coast TB restorer (who clearly does amazing work), but am not in a position to spend the funds or wait the 8-10 weeks to have these done by someone else. I'm wondering if there is a common source for these parts, or information on sizes that might help me. Thanks

You can get bags of bushings from places like McMaster-Carr.
As long as the ID is correct (or reamable to the right size) you can drill out the old and press in the new.
I prefer to do it once and never look at it again.
The method I use is to press in 2 bushings (1/2 the length or a little shorter) with an "O" ring in between them.
This ensures that there will never be any air leakage in your lifetime.
It does put a little more tension on the shaft...but spring pressure and lubricant will take care of that.

Is the bushing just press fit into the shaft, or is there some sort of pliable seal (rubber?) between the boss and the bushing? The o-ring seams like a great idea to eliminate any air leakage.
