Nice post, Dale. I see a lot of extra parts on your bench—are they from the old days of rebuilding carburetors?
For those looking to save the $2.40, another option is to buy the one-piece bushings and cut them in half yourself. Use a utility knife and lube the blade with soapy water. Placing the bushings on a wooden dowel rod or broomstick makes cutting easier and safer.
