Check out these bushings

Brass pipe from the hardware store can be drilled out to the right inner dia, the outer is correct.

Best to drill on a drill press to keep it straight, as it's brass goes quite easy & there is an American drill size that comes out just right. 15/32 from memory.

Think it's the 3/8" one. 6" piece with a thread each end is about $5 from OSH. You then just cut it fractionally longer than the bush. Make sure it's square at the ends & bob's your uncle...

Picture of the Old shock & old Bushing. Picture with the bushing installed in the MIDI shock. For the rest of you I am going to order a replacement bushing for a clevis swing arm shock to see if they are the same size. My first guess is they are the same size.
