Eastend,

I am not sure where you can get a bushing but, all I did was took a piece of black rubber automotive tubing and cut a 3/8" long section of it, slit it along the side so it would open and put it in my stanchion. A little shade tree yes but it works.

As for the globe, Yes the the perko globe will work on the mast and there is no need to pay Specialty's extra cost. I believe perko was the OEM manufacture for these lights any way. The Perko 1209 DP Series can still be bought through Perko which is just like the Whaler lights. I comes with a base that really is of no use but the light pole fits into the Whaler stern Stanchions.
