Spigot bushes

[Andrew Morris]

Hi,

I am fitting a Peugeot diesel to a series gearbox and need a spigot bush made up.

Does anyone know what sort of bronze to make them from? Is it a job that can be done on a lathe or do you need to get a pro to do it?

Hoping it can be done at home to save cost but want to get it right as removing engine to fix would be a PITA.

Regards

Andrew

Sintered Bronze, then you can soak it in oil and it will last for years.
Turn it yourself but just make sure you get the tolerances correct.
