[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 540928, member: 956"] WOW, what a great offer, and [B]Thank You![/B] ..and with that, here is the update. Dave from GPS machined out a 'sleeve' with just the right spec's to drive the middle bushing in place. It wasn't 'tall' enough to clear the inner tube top, so I found that 1.5" PVC pipe, on the bell end, fit perfectly. Then I found a 1.5" pvc broken pipe fixer upper thing that worked OK, but not perfect. I ended up gluing a bell-end to the broken pipe adapter thingie then stacking some more sawed off bell-ends on top of that to drive the bushing home. Actually, the fork seal gave me more trouble... Just Roy - If you can machine to pretty tight spec's, e.g. you have lathe with big enough bed, I will happily send to you the part GP Suspension sent me, or provide exact dimensions for you, and PAY you for the part - then offer it for free use to Forum members. Of course, if someone stiffs the forum and doesn't return the tool, the wrath of the Forum in the most massive dog pile ever seen will prevail.. Let me know if you are interested... dcarver [/QUOTE]
