I don't know that i would call the home depot bushings a "perfect fit" They are a great start but you need to trim the length of the smaller ID down, and sand the outside face to make them fit. I believe i also had to open up the ID a little to make the stock metal sleeve fit. If you have a dremel tool you can make most of the modifications, but realize you will have to cut and sand to fit. (Be careful when fitting as well, the outside lip of the transmission is just a cast aluminum piece that is relatively thin, there should not be any forcing it in (hence a good reason to have some spare spacers in-case you sand too far and it gets sloppy again)
Don't get me wrong, the modification is worth while, and not complicated, but i want you to know they don't just drop right in.
I doubt you can do it with the trans in the car, it would be a very tight fit. It may be possible, but i am not sure it would be a fun experience.

Replacing these bushings was one of the best things I've done to my V. I had a shop put them in while they were swapping the clutch and they didn't complain too much about getting the pvc ones to fit. I pre-cut them to length for them though. Everyone should be doing this.

In Chicago I had to head to a suburban Home Depot for those bushings, they were Carlon and not the Cantex brand. I think the inner diameter of the Carlon brand is slightly larger than the Cantex.
Apparently PVC Box Adapters violate building codes in the city and are considered illegal so they don't even offer them in any of the city locations with the only place to get them is the suburban Home Depots.
They didn't even have a "Home" location in the store that I went to and the clerk found them in the electrical section in the high overhead shelf where overstock goes.

Just curious does this trans have a reverse lock-out? When I have the car turned off it still is a pain to get into reverse. Just wondering, thanks

What I normally do is go from 4th to Reverse. Seems to work perfect without too much issue. I did that when my mount was going, and even with the revshift mount in it now, I still do it out of habit.
