Does anyone here know how I can get new bushings in the radius arms of my IRS?

When I did mine I used the pull through technique for the small bushes. A length of studding and suitable sized sockets to wind them in.
For the larger ones I used brute force with a large hammer to get them in, I’m sure a machine press would make short work of both ends.
Series 1 FHC purchased 50 years ago. Courted my wife in it.
Series 1 2+2 when the kids were small now sold.
Series 1.5 OTS in opalescent maroon, Californian car. My retirement present.
