Did you have a bad experience with the floor sweeping ones? Sintered bushes like these should be soaked in oil prior to fitting. Last a life time. That is until it dies.

thanks for the contact details, johns site doesnt have them on but i have sent pm and email so hopefully will be able to supply. @ warts no bad experience personally but friend who has fitted many warned against them so better safe than sorry,

you could always try the loose glued in ones from resurrection lol

Camb lamb do a quality one with an oil way machined in. More expensive but its what i use and i've never had any problems.

as warts says sintered bushes should be soaked in oil prior to use. in other aplications the phosphor bronze is sintered together (heated until the grains of metal stick to each other leaving gaps our porousity ) they are usualy pre formed rather than machined as machining smears the surfaces trapping in the lube our preventing the lube getting in. they are then placed in a vacuume and the lube oil is sucked into the porous bronze. the ones with the oilways machined into the bronze should be fine . cheers simon

no reply as of yet from scooter loopy john thanks again for all comments, will look into camb lambs bush tho def not using scooter restorations bush lol
