    Solid brass bushings are available. Drill 33/64", tap 9/16-18. Internal threads are 7/16-24, same as original. Done right, they're stronger than the potmetal.
    Yes uncle max gets them made.

    I sent one out and had it done once. If your not comfortable doing it yourself I'm sure any good carburetor repair shop can do it.
