It wouldn't have to be bronze, but it would be difficult without a
lathe, I think.  Might find a pin of the right diameter, epoxy it in
and epoxy the cut-off piece over it if you couldn't find a sleeve the
right size.  And use grease when assembling of course, which the
original assemblers did not do.


Yours,
David
