I've just been sorting out my two bushes, which measure:
RP
O/D = 38.81mm /1.528" (1 17/32" ??)
I/D = 22.18mm / 0.874" (7/8")
Length = 36.04mm / 1.4189" (1 7/16")
Camshaft o/d = 22.17mm
Type 65
O/D = 41.2 mm / 1.622" (1 5/8")
Length = RP = 1 7/16"
I/D = 1.000"
I've just got some aluminium stock in so as to have a dry run at making a bush for the RP before splashing out on some SAE660 bronze, which I think is the correct stuff for the bearing?
An after thought, I know the location hole for the front bush is dimension X from the flange on the camshaft, and so alignment of the timing gears can be obtained by lapping the cam gear and trimming the camshaft bush, or shaving the crankshaft gear. Does anyone know what X is please? My previous endeavours in this area have relied on having a pattern and a bit of dead reckoning.
