Default Teleflex Tilt Wheel

Well I finally had enough of my loose tilt steering wheel column
Question is this.....do any of you guys know where I could get a rebuild kit for it? It seems that the upper steering shaft bushing is going bad. It has just enough give to drive me nuts.
Anyone tried rebuilding one before?

    I see a number of Teleflex Tilt steering kits out there like this one: http://marinesupplydirect.com/Teleflex-Performance-Steering-Tilt-Mechanism-SH91800P-P719199.aspx

    but i have no idea if they fit ours or if the individual rebuild parts are still available.

    How about something like this... think you could swap the complete assembly? This seems like a great deal.

    Not looking to swap the assembly , just rebuild or preferably , rebush the existing.
    Other than the slight amount of play the system works great.

    I just noticed that's for a 16' boat anyways - but still seems like a great price for everything...
