Guide bushings

Do you mean drill guide bushings?
What outside diameter do you need?

Would something like these work:

Look in the phone book under machine shop supplies. These are a standard
tool and die item.

Or go to http://www.mcmaster.com/
type drill bushings into the find box and you should be pleasantly
surprised.

they come up with this striped stuff.

Yes, guide bushings- the ones on that site were the thinnest wall I've
seen, but I need something of the order of 3/8" OD or smaller. Would
stainless steel tubing work? If so, where might I get some?-- I'm not
planning to make a huge production run-- If SS tube might work, I could
always press out the old with the new. BTW the holes are are on the
order of about 1/8" apart

Another thoughtt may be a roll pin (sometimes called a spring pin).
They are sized by OD, but are hardened and hollow. Any hardware store
will have some, you will have to measure the ID to see how close to
1/4" they are.

The bigger ones typically are pretty good, but not perfect.

There are 2 types, see the image
:<http://members.aol.com/pullingtractor/images/rollpins.gif>
make sure you get the type on the left in the picture.
As I said before, he will have to measure them.

Thanks for all the replies--- Think I'll hunt up my 1/4" hardenable
steel I've had laying around for about 20 years & just make a drill
jig-- Now to find that #$%^ piece if steel. Although I think I'll
check out the roll pins.

I don't know how slim they are offhand but Rockler Hardware sells drill
guides in a variety of diameters. As does McMaster-Carr. If you can't find
one that will work from McMaster, you need to seriously readdress your needs
as they've got dozens of different sizes and types.
