I am in the process of reinstalling the Bendix Brake setup on my 69 Charger.  It's been a long time since I took it apart.  Confussed/have question about the sleeves for the brake linkage.  I went back and looked through the previous posts, but was not able to resolve. My questions revolves around the smaller sleeves.  Pictured are two sleeves at question (9/16" and 1/2").  The first is the metal 9/16" sleeve that I believe goes through the middle of the crank.  The second is a 1/2" plastic sleeve, that I am not sure about.  Is this the sleeve that goes through the top portion that connects to the booster (I think this is correct) or should it be metal.  I think these parts are all original, but not 100% sure.  I looked in the book and the upper and lower sleeves have different part numbers.  Any ideas.

Thanks.

The long metal sleeve goes inside the tube (on the right in your picture). The short metal sleeve goes in the round end of the bell crank. There should be two plastic sleeves that go between the long metal sleeve and the tube (one on each side) - these sleeves are very thin. How thick is your plastic sleeve?
Don't remember if there is a sleeve for the booster rod as I have an aftermarket booster (made my own sleeve so that the rod eye wouldn't jiggle around on the bolt).
