I am having no luck trying to find a 1/4" I.D. bronze shoulder bearing like this in Canada.

No Home Depot carries them in Canada, but they do in the US, but won't sell/ship one to me or the store.

Any ideas on where I can find one would be much appreciated.

I used this on the last turntable I put together, which I regrettably sold years ago.

Lowe's

Did you try Lowe's in Canada? They show what looks like your part on the US website.

and, to crown their disgraceful proceedings and add insult to injury, they threw me over the Niagara Falls, and I got wet.

Just do a Google on "bronze bushing" you'll come up with a ll sorts of resources. You might even find one in Canada.

Thank yiou all. I checked

Thank you all.

I checked Lowes and they have a few in stock, Will go tomorrow night to see if they have smaller ones.

Global industrial only sells bags of them; not individually.

Tonight I'm going to look into Bernd's suggestions.
