Default Delrin sway bar bushing?

My passenger side front swaybar bushing is shot and I'm thinking of replacing both of them with delrin bushings. I checked Paragon's site and noticed the smallest ones they have offer are 25.5mm. Since I've got an '86 with a 24mm swaybar (I measured it to be sure) are there any alternatives to the rubber bushing?

Only slightly off-topic, my passenger side sway bushing is out as well. How do you get the new one on? I don't really feel like loosening random nuts and bolts attached to my suspension to figure it out!

If your talking about the regular rubber bushings, you need to loosen the clamp and take the droplink off on the passenger side control arm. With some soapy water you can then slide the new one on the end of the bar. Its alot easier if you take the entire sway bar off.
