What exactly do you need?  the bushings or the sleeves that alloow you to use smaller bolts in them?  if its the bushings you need Marlin sells them.  If you need the sleeves to reduce the bolt size just go to a metal shop and find the appropriate size tubing.  Or you could just forget about it and drillt he shackles to 3/4" and run bigger bolts like I do. ;)

OK, for anyone searching, this topic is a little on the old side, but I found the bushing sleeves...
Downey makes their own and has them in stock on the shelf.
