Yes, and they do not fit correctly and fall out leaving you stranded by the side of the road unless you have some bailing wire to rig it to get home.

Those bushings were in Gary's catalog. I have purchased them.

John, That would be the “correct” way to solve the issue. Mine was the quick and dirty way as at some point in the next year when I convert to FI, the entire thing has to go and be replaced by a cable for throttle and kickdown…That said my way would probably last for decades.

HI, I was also thinking about gluing bushing in place, but thinking of other ideas too.
Thank You for the pictures and feedback

Some time back someone asked me what I did with that busing that likes to fall out of the firewall side of the throttle bracket. I am pulling all my old phone photos off and I ran across what I did. Posting them here for anyone who may want to see it.
I used some plastic to metal epoxy I got at the local hardware store. Even the same color as the loose fitting, as seen in the one photo, plastic bushing. I just used a tapered drift to expand that bushing out and then let the epoxy dry. I scrapped to get the paper towel off when it was done.
If that bushing falls out and it DOES you are stuck. This way that will never happen. If you ever need to change it you can just take a torch and burn the epoxy and old bushing off and clean it and do it again.
