    Wow 4-6 weeks!! Someone has to be able to get you one faster. As much as it sucks to order one from the US, with duty and all, it might be the way to go....Did you look at Rock Auto?
    Like Darrin said, I think the last one I bought was from Car Quest, they had it next day.

    Oh crap your right. It said Brantford had stock at Carquest on my computer but I called and they cant get one from Carquest depot. He has another supplier though for next day. Guess I'd better order one.

    Yep, as long as nothing else is worn you can just replace the bushing. I'm still running the original 1970 idler but I've replaced bushings twice over the years. I also have a spare that I want to convert to a roller bearing someday.

    Rock Auto sent out a clear-out email earlier this week. They had some on clearance. Shipping would probably be $25.00 for you but clearance price might make up for it. Might be worth be worth a look.
