Harrison L5 rescue
Manxmodder:
Hi Mick, I just thought to post up these links to bush type replacement bearing alternatives that I have used in various applications in the past.
In many cases they provide a cheaper and superior solution than plain bronze bushes do....OZ.(other forum members may also find this info useful for their projects) see links below:

Doodling tonight, bit bored, crap night down the pub.

John that looks the DOGS BOLLOCKS :thumbup: :clap: :drool: :drool:, looks like you have the style sussed out there.
Oz I have looked at the simplybearings site which looks good , I will check the other one out too, I will have to get all the worn stuff sized up and then see what I can find with the right OD and a smaller ID and bore to suit the shaft which is now slightly worn so smaller.
I will be getting back to it tomorrow .
Cheers Mick.
Manxmodder:
Mick, Just a suggestion, you could just consider the inside diameter to match the turned down part of the shaft and make an ally sleeve to bring the wall thickness up to the outside diameter.
Also if memory serves me right I think maybe Igus supply bushes with a finished inside diameter but a thicker than standard wall to facilitate re machining O/D to size.
They have to be mounted on a mandrell to machine the O/D to required size.
John that is a nicely done bit of artwork and the same as the one on my L6 Harrison,which is also the worse for wear.
Would it be possible to get a copy of that from you as a scaleable file for an etching template,please?
......OZ.
John Stevenson:
Manx,
Sorry no name.
These don't scale very well outside the program, one side of the fonts gets bigger and so does the other making the letters thicker than they should in proportion.
Let me know the OD of the circle, I guessed 35mm for this one and I'll scale it, which will scale it right, save it as a DXF and let you have a copy by PM .
