Terry,
   I bought mine from Moss.  Generic bushings are sure to be cheaper if
you can find the #s, but I don't have them.  
The greatest slop in my levers & rods assy was the worn clevis pins and
enlarged holes, and the worst of the bunch was the pin and fork inside
the box on the chassis.  It was filled with asphalt--looks as though crud
can get in but can't get out, and can't get washed off the wearing parts
by splashed water. I made an excluder from an old master cylinder rubber
from an MGB with a 35mm film cannister, which may exclude some road grit,
I hope.  Moss had the new pins, that turned out to be hardened steel, and
a friend filled and drilled the holes for me.  The bush on the lever on
the sump pivot pin was worn oval, and the pin was so worn it had a notch.
  To change the sump pin, the sump must be removed, at which time you can
exhange the worn one with the unused pin from the other side.
Bob
