Dunno if this is it or not

J&P 08 catalog top of page 685
Caliper mounting bushing, sez for dual disc fork legs 77 to 83, not sure if it'll work on the rear.
Part #  24000892    OEM # 46018-77  46019-77

Anyhow that page has "some" caliper rebuild components.

Don't think there is anything available for those calipers.  Best to do as stroker suggested.  Quick, easy and will last forever.

I have used the 'nanner bushing kit before........one of the aftermarket suppliers sells 'em cheap. Consists of two bushings and two bolts........ya just drill the appropriate size hole and zapp em in...........I since then retired the 'ol nanners to a nail in the sled shed and sprung for performance machine setup (for a round swingarm,I might add)..............best thing I ever dun

those later dual piston calipers are good.  I'd fit bronze bushings in it.  Machine shop, like stroker800 said.  :up:
