Thanks Martin! If the Bearing and bushing guys don't have a listing for those old FAG numbers There is nothing like actual dimensions. Later 66 and up bushings are bronze with a Teflon coating, pressed into a Bakelite bushing that is pressed into the tube. However, I just harvested an early beam (65 or earlier with integral safety tabs) that didn't have ANY bushings on the lower Bakelite bushings, I know the early beams were different at least on the bottoms but I will hold off on any conclusions till I cut the old Notch beam which is a 65.
