Did Weinmann ever use bronze bushings like old Mafacs? Would it be worth the trouble to try making some?

I'm quite sure that my oldest Weinnmann 999s have bronze or brass bushings. I'd guess the change as earliest 60s. If authorities disagree, I'll have to open up on that resides on my '61 Paramount (but was not on it when I got it).
