Solution: Machine a new bushing out of bronze or brass as a second choice. The old one can be used as a guide as to dimension. The key to this is matching the shaft and hole. Mic the shaft and figure a few thousands for clearance. It should be possible to match a drill to fit.
Throw a little graphite grease in there at reassembly.
I've done this on three cars. It's a chronic ailment.
On my '84, the failure of the bushing actually cooked the unit and ruined the $120 heater relay.
