Found possible replacement for these hard to get bushings. There are three that center the reflector of two different lengths but with the same diameter. Classic Center has the shorter size, not the longer. Grainger supplies polyurethane rods of different sizes and durometer rating. The original MB bushing has an OD of 9.1mm. I just received the 3/8" rod from Grainger with a 40 durometer rating. Probably work ok but can be compressed more than the originals. The 60 durometer rating or maybe even the 80 would more closely match the stiffness of the OEM bushing.
