Default Accel 59107 Distributor Repair

I have 6 Accel #59107 distributors in service in various vehicles. The brass/bronze bushings in the centrifugal advance weights are worn out on all of them. I tried to purchase the Accel kit #31041 to repair these distributors but it appears to be unavailable. Anybody know where those bushings can be had? I contacted Accel through the Holley web site but no answer as of yet.

I thought Accel was the perf division of Echlin which is the NAPA house brand, try a NAPA store

Not sure.

Here is the 31041:
