You can also buy them pretty cheap made with high carbon steel and CNC machined by 3rds Productions. I think I paid about $20-25 for the ring and bush. Not bad when most people charge about $25 for the bush only.

ok found the drawing, 50NBXH pipe and then turn down the ID to
49.8 +0 -0.5
That was perfect for me, and genuine bushes pressed in great.

dont forget to put a small chamfer on the edges so the bush goes in easier

Will the bush press in at -0.5?
