I did just this to my twin SU HD4's four years ago, using a kit from
Burlen Fuel Services of Swindon, UK. I micrometered the outer diameter
of the new bushes, drilled out the holes with a drill a few 'thou
bigger, then ARALDITED the new bushes in. It worked, and you cannot tell
by looking at the repair either. I now regularly check the engine oil,
AND drop the excess on the dip-stick onto those shaft ends to lube them.
