Default Re: Pilot Bearing Question

Hallo gw,

if the shaft can move inside the bearing seats, this is not a good thing because the main bearing wears out faster. A brass sleeve is difficult to manufacture because the wall thickness is too small.

I minimized the movement by glue a steel strip (0.1 mm) round the pilot stump (Locktite).
