If we can even call it a "bush"! I have a brandy newby wishbone, and a brandy
newby fulcrum pin. They fit like shite, but with a bit o' lube and using the
pin like a tap, back and forth, forth and back, it now fits nicely.
Lordy, lordy what a crummy system. Hasn't anyone come up with a way of using
real bushings with zerks on them? This whole idea of using threads rotating on
threads is .....wellll.....less than desirable.....
PS: at least it's the pin that is hard and the"bush" that is soft. Let's leave
it at that.......
