Sounds like the easiest thing would be to turn your own....shipping would probably cost more than a set of bushings.
You can dril a 1/4" hole in a piece of hardwood such as hard maple, ebony, etc. and mount on your mandrel with 7 mm bushings and turn to size needed. I usually coat them with CA.
You can also use a marker to "color" the wooden bushing. If you see the marker disappear you know you have turned the bushing.
This will save you from having to wait for bushings to arrive and the cost.
I have also turned my own bushings from Corian as well as wood.

Or turn it between a dead and live centre without bushings, measuring as you go.

I don't bother with bushings. I just measure the components and turn the blanks to that size, between centers. A whole lot less hassle! P.

Lower barrel for the Long Boy might be pretty close (10 mm / 25/64" drill, .455" bushing). Lower barrel for Classic Elite II probably okay if you turn it fat--that's a .443".
