[6pack] Throttle shaft bushings

Mike

You are correct about the thread for the brass bushings, If not mistaken
it is something Nelson Riddell from the Buckeye club came up with. As a club
we went together and bought a bunch with a locking collar. We still have a
few.

The one thing that we all have to watch out for here, and I don't think
this item was the reason, is that something like this caused a good member to
halt all connection, that I know of, with this list and the Triumph community
as a whole. We are a small organization, we need to praise individuals that
help continue this hobby. We also need to watch the criticism so as not to
lose the creativity, even if we as individuals do not see it as a benefit
overall.

Nice try to change
the conversation Ashford.  
About 6 or 8 years ago there was a thread on this
list about brass throttle
shaft bushings.  I didn't research the list archives
on this but I suspect
that it could be found easily.  Nevertheless the end
result was that there are
brass bushings available very cheaply from some
parts house that have the
correct inside and outside diameter for the throttle
shaft.  These have a lip
on one end and can be installed in the same simple
and quick way that someone
just described for their home made piece.  The cost
for teh brass bushings was
minimal so I ordered 10.  I used two for my car and
gave the remaining eight
out to club members.  No need to re-invent the wheel
so to speak and there is
no way you can make them as cheaply from scratch. 
After 5 years they still
work like new. 
Now about the Garagemahal project!!
