So you could take detailed measurements for looking for a source?

I have thought of this too. the washers would be another reburb thing that would be really nice to have

The NOS part could be scanned, so wouldn't even need to measure.  Same goes for the washers I'd imagine.  Make a mold and encase the cleaned original washers with rubber to make the nubs.

Note that I know very little about home 3D printing, but from what I have seen, it should work.

You would think a substitute could be found if a bushing mfg catalog could be looked over. We still use this kind of bushing in all kinds of modern applications.

Were straying way off topic here but finding a bushing that is already in production that fits is probably the all around best solution.
