I'm getting a bit stuck with this one - where's a good place to get bushings? I'm not exactly sure what what I want is called, they're the bushings for a Brompton rear pivot, the lined bronze things in this pic:

They seem to be called rolled bronze bushings, maybe:

Is there any place in the UK that would sell smallish quantities of these?

Thanks 😉

Ha, they're everywhere now 😉

Usual problem, I didn't know what they were called so searching for plastic-lined bronze bushings wasn't getting me anywhere. WMX acetal-lined is what I got, for anyone who cares.

Thanks...
