They just happen to be a few .001's under size, so I came ream them exactly were I want them. Most good hobby shops have them in a baggy card. And if you install them from the inside of the chassis they also work for a gear shim as well. I wound show you a picture but the only car I have at home with this done to it is my sprint, and I don't want things seen inside the chassis.

For 3/32 axels use 1/8" outer tubing. I use a jig to sand the ends of the tubing nice and square. The jig consists of a 1/8th inch piece of aluminum with a 1/8" hole drilled in it. I set it flat on a flat surface, pop my rough cut bushing in the hole and then run a sanding block over the end of the new bushing until it no longer protrudes thru the hole. The flat piece of aluminum guides my sanding block when I get the bushing close to flush to help make it nice and square on the ends. I should mention that I have a piece of plastic under the aluminum with a hole in it that eventually gets removed when it comes time to sand the other end flush. Simple if I had a pic but maybe difficult to verbalize. Another easy way to get good bushings is to order them from Ranch ;-) Slot Car Skunk Works...
