Hi Bill,

This sounds like a good plan. I think you should be able to piece
together a good unit with Peter's parts. I have heard that the heat from
the exhaust manifold cooks the rear bushing. I have wondered if a
synthetic oil might be an improvement over the classic lubricants that
have been used in the past?

Let me know if you do come up short on parts.

Thanks,

Mike
