Boring the shaft size shouldn't be a problem.

I have done the bush retainer trick myself. Cut a 1.6mm galv plate with turned up edges to hold the bush in place,it just bolts on with the hoop retainer, no probs. Drilling urethane usually requires you to get the right size drill bit, bolt down the bush and charge in with the drill. It tends to deflect on small depth cuts.

Diana, your's and Bee Utey's ideas sound good - much better than mine.

I like Gary's best of all - I bet there is one for some Jap truck that will fit; they love copying Pommy cars,

Charlie well said, I am waiting for that mob to reply to a query i sent 12 months ago.

Bad luck Diana, what about all the local sellers, try truck parts etc there should be something that would fit.
I was chasing a copper washer to replace the leaking one on the ser3 fuel tank drain, went to the local bearing supplies yesterday, no go, they sent me to the local truck parts place, 5 mins before closing they could not have been more helpful, the bloke rang around and found one for me at one of the engineering places it was on the counter when i got there so i bought two. Thats local Lismore help for you.

btw the tank no longer leaks.

It's often the way John

I know that when down on the farm in Nowra I can go to the local motor engineers store or tractor spare parts dealer and get nearly anything off the shelf. Try doing that in Sydney without driving all over the metro area.
