I obtained these from a local bearings supplier £7.00 using the parts numbers Roger gave in his article I will have to wait until next April/07 before putting them to the test.

 

 

As Roger points out they do not add much thickness under the winding socket so I do not anticipate any problems, I intend to add a little grease.

This is the new screw I had made. It is slightly bigger in circumference than the original (that got bent) because the engineers decided to drill out and retap the old bush rather than make a new bush, they say it should be stronger, I hope so!

 

I was concerned that there would not be enough clearance either side of the drop arms however as you can see there is plenty of room left.
