Default bronze bushings for steering mod

So far anything I have seen to improve the steering has involved drilling or hacking up the chassis, Has anyone tried to use bronze bushings in the existing holes and fab a steering shaft from threaded rod? I'm considering giving it a shot but I have no idea what size bushings would fit. I was thinking about getting a gpm kit just for the metal bushings it has if I can find one state side. If anyone has a defective gpm kit donations are welcome

click the link to see bushing sizes, if anyone knows what size would fit it will be greatly appreciated

The chassis can be drilled to accept a 5x10 bushing or bearing and use an m5x39.5mm shaft. Here is a link to the tutorial. Sorry if this doesn't embed; im using my phone.

You might be better served by getting the GPM kit and using it. Careful assembly and using better fasteners goes a long ways.
