Brake Pedal Bushing: Where to Find Them

I need a plastic brake pedal bushing w/a .500 ID for the brake pedal to master cyl plunger on my CC dually. There seems to be excess play in the connection (the hole is not ovaled/enlarged) which leads me to believe there should be a plastic bushing in there.

I checked the HELP section @ my local places & the plastic bushings in the generic pakage are all too large (I believe they're for the clutch/brake pedal pivot position). My online searching show the generic package listed in the HELP section or from Dorman w/o listing specific ID/OD sizes (I did find a Mopar bushing this size but I was hoping to find something local).

Any help or info is appreciated....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Scot, I crawled under the dash of my dually. No bushing. It just fits onto that stud deal and is held in place with the bolt on retainer.

Then I went to my scrap pile and dug out the original hydroboost unit from my truck (changed last year due to leaks). No bushing on it either. Just an eyelet.

Ok. I kept everything in a ziplock bag & couldn't see how I missed it. But, it's been a while since it was connected & when I put it together to mock everything up, I felt there was too much 'play'. I have the wave-lock style washer & a retaining washer but have to get the clip that holds it all in place. Perhaps once together, the compression of everything will minimize the play.

Thanks buddy.... It's always appreciated!
