There is a brass and stainless steel replacement available from :
British Frame and Engine
4831 N. Ryland Ave
Temple City, CA 91780

Took a bit of fitting (had to relieve one bushing a bit, and add a shim to
the other one), but I'm happy with the result. I also drilled and tapped
for grease zerks.
It did add a small amount of road vibration to the steering wheel, but not
objectionably so IMO.
