I need 2-15/32" ID x 2-3/4" OD x 2" long Bronze Bushings and I need them NOW.

Who would have these on the shelf in Baton Rouge or within 100 mile radius of Baton Rouge?

I get nothing solid doing an internet search.

Check with Motion Industries, but most distributors are not going to stock them. My company does Industrial Maintenance and Power Transmission repair and distribution and we typically have to order any bronze bushings that we need.

Machine it. Surely you have access to a drill press, eh?

This reminded me of the scene from The Campaign when he's on the trail.

Check Industrial Screw or Total Valve and fitting. They might have it. Worth a shot

I have a Carlton 7'x19" drill press but I don't have a 2-15/32" bit.

I use both of those guys. I called industrial screw but they didn't have a clue and I really don't think Total Fittings is worth even a call on this.

But I appreciate the response.

No apologies necessary. I really appreciate the serious reply. It helps prove that the OT can be - and has been - a great resource.

Not in BR, but don't you know a local machine shop? they can knock those out for you fast.

Slate Rock & Gravel Company or Spacely's Space Sprockets should have them on the shelf.

Yea I have shop we sort of barter with. He's going to help me out.

I'm not any kind of machinist or serious mechanic so I mostly don't know what I'm doing or talking about in this area. But I do have to get things like this done regularly so I'm used to just wading into it and getting it done. I've learned a lot that way as I am now. I do appreciate all of the help.
