Can anybody advise me on a source for bronze swing arm bushes for the 400/4 - Don't fancy replacing the plastic ones :( :-\

Thanks, Peter

Haven't had much luck with bronze bushings. Confirm the collar is round, because of the poor lubing system they tend to wear to an ovalish shape. A new bushing won't fix this, and the collars are unobtanium. Getting the composite sleeves out is usually a total bugger of a job, good luck! Slitting the inside with a hacksaw blade is normal. The new bushing should be somewhat snug on the collar. It should be a tight press fit into the swingarm. It will be compressed a bit when pressed in and the collar fit get a bit tighter.
There is a fellow in the USA that services swingarms, either he makes new collars or grinds them round when worn out-of-round. Then he makes bronze bushings to fit the collar. Maybe not economical to ship a swingarm to/from the USA?

Not from the U.K. that's for sure, and chances are we'd get stung for import duty when it arrived back in the U.K.
