Yeah, the arm may need machining and sleeving from a machine shop to make it good again unless there is an alternative. I have sleeved worn parts before, it is worth it. Arms can be machined down and sleeved. The right size bearing-bushings can be manufactured, together with thrust bushing. First thing is to look up cost. I have found the cost of under 2.00 for manufactured high pressure plastic bushings. I got a formal quote today from one company, others are pending. I will list the cost per piece versus quantity. Russ said he has a machine shop co-worker that may be able to make special brass bushings. I hope this incorporates the thrust bearing too. I will hold off on pushing the bushing manufacturer until Russ contacts his buddy to see if this is feasable. I will find out the cost for remachining and sleeving the arm and roller bearing with correction sleeving, (the correct size bearing is not available, 2mm bearing sleeve required). This will be the premium repair with added manufactured thrust bushing. Leon ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
