Default Crossfire TBI bushing service

I need to have bushings installed on my 82 crossfire throttle shafts. I have searched and it looks like the two places that offered it in the past are out of business. Anyone know of anyplace reputable that still offers this service? Thanks in advance for any help

Is DCS in Arizona still in business? If so they can do it because they re-bored and bushed and converted mine to 2.0" several years ago.

Last I looked, you could get a reamer and 8 bushings on ebay for about $50.

I would think a carb rebuilder (a large company) could do them.

DCS is out of business but I spoke to one of the guys who is a member here via pm and he said they may reopen one of these days.

If I knew what I needed exactly the like size of ream and exact bushing to purchase I would consider doing it myself but I do not want to learn via trial and error. I have a drill press so I am confident I could do it if I had detailed information to draw upon.

Any idea what large carb companies might offer this?

I'm thinking your TB uses a 3/8" shaft but you'd have to measure. The kit comes with a self guided reamer and bushings. Check youtube for videos of it being done.

As already posted, any half-decent carb rebuild place should be able to do it.
