Rebushing centers method

I doubt it, but it's much easier to tear than to cut, if 
you're making little-uns out of big-uns yourself.

As to how wide, the easiest way is to put a long taper on a 
piece of over wide cloth of the thickness you intend to use. 
Thread it into the reamed out flange hole, and mark it where 
it snugs up, with a sharp pencil. Measure the taper width at 
the pencil mark (plus a tad), and that's your bushing cloth 
width. Strangely enough, it typically measures pretty close to 
Pi*diameter of the hole it's supposed to fit into. Curious, 
ain't it?

*Then* futz around until you get a fit.

Same for bushing damper guide rails, or pretty much anything.
