Brake shaft bushes

Post by gubben »

Does someone know where to find the two bushes that support the "brake cross shaft" (hope it´s clear what I´m looking for)? Outer diameter about 29 mm and inner diameter about 25 mm (Ian Harris does not have them). If not I´m planning to find a suitably brass tube and make them myself.

I would make my own. I would also consider using ptfe or some other modern plastic bearing material. The loading on the bushes is relatively low so a plastic bush wil be fine.
