Yes, I did make a couple but the time it took was not going to pay off. I found the correct size washer and bushing but it had to be drilled, cut, welded and ground smooth because of the tight clearances. Personally, if I needed new bushings I would gladly pay the $8 or whatever for them. However, I replaced all of mine when I rebuilt my suspension and have another NOS set that I am keeping so I am good. I also looked into having a machinist make some but I ran into the same situation as Chuck and I dropped it. Yeah, $70 or $80 may seem like a lot of money, especially if you aren't planning on rebuilding your suspension real soon but people with these cars need to think ahead if you plan on keping your H body for any length of time. Even common replacemnet parts are being dropped by many suppliers so you need to start creating a "stash" of parts for future use. I was a bit surprised too by the lack of interest on Chuck's efforts. By the way, there are bushings on ebay that show the washers included, they are not. I already checked so beware.
