The cams are the same, whether the bushes are thick or thin.
Like Ruairidh, I drilled mine out to take the usual bushes.
I think the originals were a sort of honeycomb zinc.
I like originality, but I also wanted it to be an easy fix, if needs doing again.

Hi Chris
Looks like a thick walled bush.
No, you are not Girling equipped.
Sometimes you can push the old bush out using a new bush and a piece of tube big enough for the old bush to slide inside on the far side, all lined up on the biggest bolt that will go through the lot.
Wind it all together with a nut and maybe a suitable washer or two, the old bush is pushed out by the new one.
Sometimes this method just starts damaging the new bush because the old one doesn't shift.
If a bit of heat doesn't work, I (carefully) cut through the old bush with a hacksaw blade which allows it to collapse and come out.
