Default replacement aluminum RCA bearing or bushing sleeve?

Hi,
I purchased some used front RCAs and one of the little bearing sleeves (or cuffs or bushings, whatever) was missing. I've been searching all over for a place to buy something similar as a replacement. It's about these dimensions: 15mm OD x 12.4mm ID x 9.5mm L. I think it's aluminum. The closest I've been able to find is a bronze bushing at Grainger, but I'll have to grind it down since it's 12mm L. Just wondering if any of you has purchased these anywhere. Thanks.

since you found it at Grainger (a competitor of my company actually) its unlikely it is made for the application your wanting it for (and i would be slightly concerned in the long run it would hold up) since Grainger is mainly a HVAC (although they do most trades) i would contact FIGS (he has his own) or PHML (he is a moderator on here and can get Sage RCA parts)

what brand are yours? cause i would just contact the manufacturer (if you know who it is or can find out) and see if they can sell me some

Thanks for responding, but as it turns out, I'm in luck--the seller ended up finding the missing sleeve.
