I suspect mine is a bit worn too so measurements might not be
helpful. Found these dimensions in an advert on eBay:
OD - 1-3/16''
ID 1-1/16''
Height 15/32''

TBH, I had never thought about these, so I asked my freind in
the US who has probably done more miles than most.
He said to keep an eye for the strss marks, and replace the bush
when they show. The failure of the bush will grab threads on the
belt , lock up the drive, and it's hell to untangle the
resulting mess, he says.
Another thing to maintain!
I guess they would not wear as badly if sitting at idle is
minimised, and lubrication maintained, well at least as badly?
Thanks Geoff for alerting me.

Just out of interest, Rhys you mention lubrication for the
bronze bush but didn't say with what???
Occasional squirt of oil, grease, or some special mixture I
ain't heard of?

I haven't been told, but the bush is supposedly oil impregnated,
so I would choose an oily mix with some graphite or moly., but
only enough that it would not contaminate the belt.
