As the shaft goes into the bush you can feel it start to bind a bit like you feel with a taper in a lathe or drill if that makes sense.

Hi Simon
the bush may have pinched a little at the far end of the hole. if you have a parallel reamer the right size you could relieve it. I can help you with this if you call round.
I have used dowel pins with a groove ground lengthwise to make a reamer before to do this sort of job. if its only slightly tight- lapping with "Brasso" will often suffice. Cheers Steve H
Hi Simon I have just reread your first post. I seem to remember the Retro-fit Bush has external oil grooves as well as internal, which means that it rotates within the first motion (input) shaft as well as turning on the third motion shaft (output) so it has twice the bearing surface and acts in the same way as the roller race it replaces. Is your Bush made this way ? if not I think it should if it is to last.
Have you a photo to share?
Cheers Steve H (again)
