Steve Surby at AMC Classic Spares supplied a pair of bronze replacements for the black plastic bushes in my 'Jampot' rear units. Maybe he has bronze bushes for the front forks as well. Might be worth giving him a call.

Yes Stephen does sell them for front forks. They are £25, but are a good fit and provide a very smooth action.
The double lip seals available from club spares should keep the water out as well.
