I built my replacement bushings from aluminum, and yes it does rattle a little, but I just didn't have any urethane available at the time. the build would have been the same using either material; I turned it down to the larger of the 2 radii needed, came in the proper thickness, then turned the rest down to the smaller radius. then I drilled out the center hole to fit but enough to allow smooth movement. Then, I removed half of the larger part's circumference with a grinder. it would be easier with urethane; a hot knife would remove it quite quickly.
Next time I will use urethane for sure; I think I want the quieter ride. _________________ '80 931 FOR SALE

Not saying this could not be a side effect but I have antidotal evidence it does not. I replaced my bushings with oil impregnated bronze and it had no rattle. It even had less hum than a 931 I have driven with the snail tranny. YMMV.
BTW, anybody want to buy my shifter setup? It's tight.
