There are bronze bushings you can use to replace the bushings on you double eye springs.

What you can use is the Bronze Bushing # D014-077-00 which is a quantity of one or the Bronze Bushings # K71-291-00 if you wanted a quantity of four. These bushings have a 9/16" inner diameter, 11/16" outer diameter and measure 1-3/4" long.
