Title: EML swing arm
Post by: QLD779 on April 25, 2012, 02:58:35 pm

Who knows where I can get front swing arm bushes for my EML? They are rubber cushoned steel bushes. Do bearing suppliers stock such items or do I get bronze ones made?

Try Walter, he is the agent for EML, maybe good suspension shops, or Hi Spec Engineering at Yatla.

Just did the Wasp ones, thanks to lama and his dad who got the out of Colditz-oops I mean Rhind Tutt. The front end is like new again-no more excuses for being a wobbler any longer Lama. :D :D :D
They are just white metal/bronze bushes.

Thanks for the advise guys. Tried to get some to fit up here but nothing. Found an elderly man to turn some up from a chunk of phosfer bronze. Should do the trick with some new titanium bolts. ;)

Don't forge to make a steel sleeve to go over the bolt so the bush doesn't bear on the bolt, this will allow you to do the bolts up tight without the bush binding on the ends  ;)
