[QUOTE="Trinorvin, post: 32036, member: 2309"] Hello everybody, as I wrote in the title, it is time for me to renew these parts on my Comet. Different prices and quality of bushes are supplied by many Vincent stockists. It appears that the best choice would be Lead-bronze bushes? Have you any experience and comments on the subject considering that all bushes are seized on spindles and turn in the links! (Steel spindles and Lead-bronze bushes). Fortunately, without too much play and not perceptible ovality. Does Loctite or grease nipples trapping the bushes are a good miracle cure? Obviously, the spindles will be replaced by stainless steel ones. Does bushes G90, FT117 on RFM, Et64 between UFM and RFM ask Oilite material due to difficuty to be reached with grease through treaded nipples? Or care on Lead-bronze bushes with frequent oiling in lateral clearance is sufficient? I guess to extract the camshaft, camfollower and small idler spindles with a puller extractor after heating the case around. Does it is a too load tool or I can do the job with a plier? I have several questions and other will come... Thanks in advance from France Trinorvin [/QUOTE]
