Title: Steel bushings??
Post by: yd328 on April 02, 2014, 05:40:58 PM

Does anyone know of a source for steel bushings. I would like to tighten up the fit of the idler assembly on the idler shaft. The shaft itself seems ok.

Thanks Gary

Gary your best bet might be to go to a local machine shop and have them done. Find a good "job shop" machinist that can think outside the box. A good person to know.

Did you try switching the pivots from side to side?

I havent swapped sides yet, i was going to try the bushings.
 I have a shop to do the job. I figured on off the shelf bushing if they were availible.
Thanks
