Alternator bushing replacement=Smoooooooth running!

Just replaced the alternator bushings on my 1991 900 base. What a difference that made. I used to feel a buzzy vibration, especially when running uphill, and it is now gone. The car feels so much better.
A tip: it is a real pain to get the new bushings into the alternator bracket by hand. But then I used my head and did this:
I removed the bracket entirely from the engine (3 hex head bolts). Then I removed the old bushings. Holding the bracket sideways (so that the left bushing hole is at the top, the right is at the bottom), I placed the right side's bushing partially in the hole, then, through the left side's hole pushed the long alternator mounting bolt down part way. I then threaded it's nut onto it, and placed a washer between the nut and the new bushing.
I placed the bracket on a solid surface and tapped the head of the bolt. The washer pushed the bushing into the hole perfectly. Then repeated this for the other side. A shot of WD40 makes it even easier.
