Well since nobody responded, I'll share what I've found.
It seems like Sequoia is the best place to get bronze bushings. The manual says
that they supply plated bushings of the right type cheaper than any local supplier.
I did find a local distributor of the right type of bushing but I'd rather
get the plated ones, if I can.
The angle 2024-T3511 extrusion is available from wicks as are the correct rivets
called out in the blueprints. I couldn't find anywhere online that had the
correct T extrusion called out for a few parts, but I did find a local distributor
that had the exact right stuff. I think the minumum they would sell me was
20 ft. of it, which was $175. Not too bad if you share with some other builders
or something.
I still haven't decided what I want to do here yet. I think I'll try some of the
simpler hinges and see how that goes.

Ryan,
I too had difficulty in finding small amounts of T bar stock of the right
dimension. Actually started to machine the parts from bar stock for the
flap hinges, if I recall correctly, but kinda lucked out in finding someone
who had those parts for sale.
