Just a bit of info, if needed..

I went to ACE hardware hereabouts and found various sizes of brass and copper tubing that i used to help cut the oversize wear down a bit..takes a bit of patience but better than the slop
Also try some plastic tubing a bit thicker walls

Right then, I'll add summat from my own Land Rover restoring: on worn linkage pivots I've had good luck pressing in bronze bushes, or failing that, cutting a sleeve from a bit of old brake pipe and reaming it to size.. no messing, it tightens things up no end and costs nowt compared to a new kit. Mind you, I'll believe teh "good as new" bit when I see it, as worn holes in teh levers themselves are usually oval adn a sleeve only hides so much, but it beats rattling about :)
