21mm is the titular size of the B-series small end, for a press fit pin.  You want a free floater... which means you can press fit to the rod if you want, but shit better slide smooth and precise somewhere.

UMM...... this isn't something you cheap on.

Call crower say what you need/ are doing. they send bushings to you or machine shop of choice. Then the machine shop does there thing. And make sure they  hone to fit the bushings.

You very much can cheap out on it, but it involves a $400 investment in an asian mini-lathe, and about twenty hours of fucking around getting it trued up and fucking around with shit before you purchase $10 worth of oil impregnated brass + make 2-3 sets of these.  Probably fuking them up if you don't pay attntion to clearances.

That $150 starts to dwindle down to almost nothing by the time you weld up 20-30 different little projects
