Good point Paul. I'm assuming if they are from Frank, they are the bronze bushes.

Just had visions of all those little needle rollers everywhere  ;D ;D

Phantom Rider:
There are definitely no roller bearings involved!!

However you have created an interesting mental picture in my mind!!  ;D 

Laverda Dave:
I bought mine from Frank. I'm think they were phospher bronze (they look like brass!). They were going to be a tight fit so I placed them in a freezer bag and left them in the freezer for a couple of days, no problem to fit afterwards. Just make sure the inside of the swing arm where the bush is to fit is absolutely clear of any old paint or grease prior to fitting.

K2-K6:
Can you pull each one in individually using the swing arm bolt,  with a washer or spacer at the opposite side to pull against? Perhaps the bolt isn't long enough,  but could be a possibility.

Or a carpenter's sash cramp to squeeze them in.

gtmdriver:
Not sure of the origin of the bronze bushes I got from the US but after fitting them in the swinging arm I had to ream them out to get the pivot tube in there
