Tony,
I've cleaned up and rebuilt overdrives several times now but haven't come
across that bushing disintegration. My Vicky Brit catalog doesn't number it
either. John Esposito at Quantumechanics rebuilts zillions of these and he'd
have the parts if anyone would. 203-459-9612 or john@quantumechanics.com.
Good luck with it!
Regards,
Gary Schneider
