I got mine from British Frame and Engine (Ken Gillanders).  Not cheap, but
should last forever.  I see they are listed for $100/pair now :

I also did a bit of fitting; as I recall I added a shim to one of them (to
tighten the vertical clearance) and reamed the other one so the pin would
run smoothly after the bush was pressed into the arm.  Also added grease
zerks.  YMMV
