Small Celica window mechanism question/favour

Hi all,
Just getting my doors ready to paint and I want to have the mechanism inside working perfectly before I paint so I don't scratch the door up trying to get it right after.
The nylon bushes similar to the ones used in the back windows have disintegrated. Now I don't have any of these on my spare doors and I'm not entirely sure if this one should be the same diameter as the ones in the back.
If anyone has these intact, it would be great if they could just quickly pop off their trim and measure its diameter. Its easily visible from the rear access hole.
This is the pin where the bush should sit.
This is the guide that the bush hits when the window gets wound up.
Also, the plastic guides have fallen out of all my doors and their spares, I only have two left. You can see them in the first photo. Just wondering if anyone has come across anything particularly good to replace these with before I make some up myself.
Cheers,
Ryan

go to bunnings or similar and look for the shower screen replacement wheels..
cut off the lug on the guide, drill a hole in its place and fit the new wheel..
make sure you get the right one by testing it to the guide.

Cheers for the suggestions. Just to clarify the wheel on the window in the doors is the same diameter as the ones found in the back windows?
I machined some new door hinge pins up today so now they are nice and tight. Hopefully I'll be able to do the window mechanism tomorrow.
