Torque arm bushing advice

Hey guys and gals. I have an 83 that the torque arm came out of it's bushing holder up by the tranny housing. I discovered that the bolt stripped and I got it re-threaded, but the bushing is pretty well shot. I cannot find the exact replacement part. So I finally found something that should fix it on Jeg's. Two weeks later, they informed me that it's a dropped item and the supplier will ship it......they don't have one either. So, where do I get one, has anyone replaced it? Also, I have the origional spare tire inflater. I used it, it actually worked. 31 years old, and now I need another one. What can you do. No one will fill it for me. Do they make replacements? Thanks Matt

I have one of these going into my 89.

Might as well cleanand paint the housing since it has to be removed anyway.

I used CLR, 80 grit sandpaper and spray on bed liner to keep the rust away.

Oh yea, the ES poly bushing only fits one way, so it's impossible get it wrong.
