Not sure what Bruce's reasoning was, but when I did the pedal cluster rebuild last year I was less than impressed with the fit of the new bronze bushes in the pedal cluster. That is to say, for the most part they were undersized on the OD and were not a snug fit into the pedal, they would fall out if given the chance. So I ended up cutting small bits of an AL can to make shims to get the fit nice and tight. I suppose over time the bronze might be more prone to wear than the nylon or whatever non-metalic material then stockers are made from.
We'll see....
