Silly question but have you tried ebay?
While typically not the cheapest if buying in any quantity there are lots of little bits and pieces like that on there.

Although sometimes it works out cheaper to buy a 2.5m length and flog the rest off after!

Yes I've looked, carn't get the grade I want. thanks

Aluminium bronze --should be readily available at most non ferrous metal outlets

Found some, thanks

Aluminium bronze c954 is an excellent bearing material --however it doesn't like close tolerances and heat --ie; prone to seizing --and must have good lubrication
If its for a small end bush -- to make sure --after assy. wack it in the oven at 120° or so and check to see it still pivots OK ( if its tight, take notes and rehone to suit)

Thanks for the info'!
