Great idea John and Microshaft.

My early style idler bushings were shot and the shaft was worn too. Luckily(?) I found a complete kit the the local import auto parts store that I got for a song.

My bushings were split steel backed bronze. The ugly part is the bushings compressed under the shaft diameter (seems like it was about .005" under) plus the bushings didn't push in-line and they required reaming. The new shaft diameter miked out to some stupid number that I didn't have a reamer for. I had to make a custom reamer to line ream the damn things? Ugly job!!! I assume a snug push fit assembled dry is a good tolerance. Works nicely so far.

I would think an early unit could be retrofitted to a delrin bushing arrangement by desperate man with the equipment. I will file that away for future use. There is a company doing this for retrofitting delrin kingpin bushings in "I" beam axles for rods.
