I'm going to machine my own out of 4140, I'll machine a grease groove in them and get them induction hardened and see if they last longer when they're hard and better lubricated. The bushes are easily sources locally, i'll stick with the bronze bushes.

There are some special drill bits that work on hardened steel. And they come in the size required for Zerk fittings.
YG dream drill.
The machinist used the ones without the cooling holes, and they reported to have went through like a hot knife through butter.
1/8" hole about 35-mm deep.
