Swinging arm bushes

[Bryanj]

Dave, its only the later ones with a rubber seal, early ones the seal is the felt ring, i think i still used the caps with the bronze bushings though

Mine had the felt seals, I don’t need them do I?

You don't use the felt with the bronze bushes, just the end cap.

I've been hanging around 400/4’s for too long Bryan, I thought looking at the parts diagram the end caps were the same as those on a 400. Every day is a school day on the forum👍

Old bushes knocked out today. They were as Julie described: a sort of Bakelite material, definitely not metal. I concocted a tool to knock them out made of a length of M10 studding. Worked a treat. When it comes time to put the arm back in the frame I’m probably going to need some help. Looking at the parts diagram I don’t recall there being that many spacers and washers etc when I took it apart. Everything that came off was bagged up however,

On yours Mike, referring to the fiché picture, you only fit the new bronze bushes and the end cap.

Thanks Julie 👍
