gear linkage bushes

[garyc]

I'm thinking of getting some gearlinkage bushes made up ie the ones that are no longer available from Vauxhall. Is anyone interested? If so I'll get some prices to have some made up, hopefully having more made would reduce the price.

I'm not sure what material to have them made from, I was thinking PTFE or Nylon, if anyone can reccomend something else let me know.

If your interested post to this thread indicating how much you are willing to pay for a set or drop me a PM.

No I am talking about the pivot bush not the rose jointed links

/\/\/\/\ That looks so over engineered does it fit under the bonnet?


Use Delrin. Oil impregnated Nylon.

Does anyone know the measurements for them? (I currently, for a limited time, have access to a CNC :D).

Who made this? Where was it from & how much did it cost?

Knowing the average price of a quality rose joint, not cheap is my guess.

Definately on the cards for my project anyway, bet its lovely having a bit of feel through a nova linkage lol

Stu, as in phosphor bronze? ie the plain bearing stuff?
