Jay, As Alistair mentioned 2 bushings (sleeve bearings) are required. I had a bunch of them manufactured a few years back and I'm sure there's likely a stray still roosting in my garage. I'll check tomorrow and pmail. The sleeve bearing you ordered from Texas is also likely one of mine, as I sold 3 to Simon. You'll find that the I.D. is slightly undersized to allow for a slight clean-up of the shaft, but do some careful measuring. I've also had good results using a brake cylinder hone if the I.D. needs increasing. Angus
