Hi all, I have been working on a 1946 J3 project since the beginning of the winter, and am now reassembling the tail feathers. Since the bushings on all the tail surface hinges and the tail bracing wires need replacing, I consulted the J3 Piper Parts Manual for the parts numbers. For many of the bolts, washers and nuts, the parts manual lists both the Piper part number AND the AN number. However, for these bushings only the Piper part number is listed (my mechanic/guide on the project confirmed that these are standard bushings, and there should be an AN number for them).

By any chance, does anyone know where to find the correct AN number for these bushings?

Secondarily, I am going to be replacing most of the bolts, washers, castle nuts, etc in the tailfeather assembly, and was wondering if anyone can suggest a good source for these (I was thinking Aircraft Spruce)? Thanks in advance for your help.
