Exclamation Muncie Shifter Assembly Spacer/Bushing Identification ?

Hi Guys, wanted to know what this MUNCIE Spacer or Bushing is called?
I have a shifter assembly missing this and want to buy it, looked all over eBay but no luck. It is made out of a hard type of plastic.
Any help much appreciated as it is for a member here and I would like to get one for myself too.

it is a rubber donut that goes on the main shaft bushing between the shifter and the mount bracket

originals are hard to find because the rubber gets hard and breaks

I don't know if anyone repops them

Some people make new ones from rubber grommets but its not the best solution

Thank You Joe,
Your right mine used to be a rubber donut that dried to a hard plastic and broke apart in a bunch of pieces.
I made a spacer donut that fits perfectly myself, bottom is a thin rubber washer, middle is a outside hose rubber washer and the top is a plastic nylon Oil Pan washer.
The fit is dead on in thickness and the center hole fit is dead on.
Better then having nothing.
Can't believe no company makes this out there oh well.

Can someone send me some very good drawings or an original part? I may be able to do something.

I can get the dimensions but its not just a simple washer shape

it has a groove on the outside diameter

the inside diameter is undercut to lock into the bushing

If you can send me a cross section sketch and measurements I might be able to make it.

Not hard to manufacture. I made a few out of hard plastic. Easy matching. Any steel or plastic supply houses have it or McMaster Carr.

Someone that has a 3D object printer should make these easily buy replicating a real one IMO (Do a color like this so you can keep on eye on it)
