I used to make bushes for the 18 down to 16 to fit the Suzuki piston and lambretta conrod. and I would leave a lip on one end of the bush so the Gudgeon pin was captive inside each bush, then the circlip only had to hold the bush in place. thats how they are usualy made.

I hate it when i am being stupid, but if there is a lip on the bush to retain the gudgeon pin, how do you get the gudgeon pin in, in the first place
