I haven't seen this derailleur bushing, but it sounds like a godsend for aluminum frames. I don't think this flanged repair bushing would work on our steering knuckles, because we need something that leaves both the inside and outside surfaces flush. We probably also need something thicker and stronger. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
