Weltmeister rear suspension bushings - (inside)

Need some guiding advice. I purchased a set of Weltmeister rear suspension bushing for the inside of the banana arms on my 86 911. See picture below. Now the bushings do not come or are designed for an internal sleeve so this means the through bolt is not being torqued down to anything solid, just the bushing material itself. The bushings have a built in "washer" but the assembled width of the arm and bushings is .100" less than the mounting "ears" so they must draw in that much to contact the bushings. I checked with Pelican tech support (thanks Bob T) and he has not installed these and suggested this forum. In my opinion, not having an internal sleeve makes these not a very safe prospect, am I missing something here? Anyone else have experience with these particulars ones? All input always appreciated.
