Swinging Arm Refurbishment

The swinging arm was reluctant to leave it's resting place for the last 60 years - see previous post. Paul had pressed out the seized in axle and inner parts of the bushes, but we'd held on at that point, until I found out what I could get to replace them.

Hitchcock's came up with the bushes, although they were listed as a Continental GT part, but are definitely the right thing. I spent half an hour with a paint stripping wheel before delivering back to Paul to get the remains of the old bushes pressed out and the new bushes pressed in.







New bush, and you can see the remains of the outer bush still in place.
