July 6, 200818 yr Hello Lee, The bushes you are looking for are 'metalastic' bushes made by 'Slient Bloc', they measure: I/D: 1/2" O/D: 1" Inner L: 2" Outer L: 1-3/4" The spacer is: I/D: 1/2" O/L: 4" The spindle is: O/D: 1/2" O/L: 9-1/4" You can make the spindle and the spacer without too much difficulty but the bushes are another matter. they are basically one tube inside another fixed with rubber. When the swing arm moves it is the rubber that flexs to allow the movement because the swing arm spindle is done up tight and the bushes are pressed into the swing arm. I have been in touch with the manufacturers of the original bush and they have no old stock. However, they do still have the old tooling and are supposed to be getting back to me with a price for new bushes. I have asked twice now and still they have not come back to me. Keep and eye on the website for more information as I get it. http://www.beamishownersclub.com Cheers, Jim
