The pink line is the cable. When the handle is pulled, the "weight plate carrier" will travel upwards. The "carrier guide" will keep it from swinging or otherwise moving around. The guide will slide on a rod.

I want a bushing in the"carrier guide"(probably one on top and one bottom) so it's not metal on metal. What is the "bushing" called. Where can I find one? Did a Google search for "nylon bushing" but mainly turned up pvc fittings(which may work). What should I be searching for instead? ID should be 1 inch at least IMO.

Ideas? Thoughts? Design ideas? Let's hear it
