Hi All,

I would like to rebuild my 7 tooth steering box. I have a lathe and would like to experiment with eccentric bushes to minimize the sector to worm backlash.

I found a company on line selling oversize bronze bushes which I can turn down.

The sector shaft bush ID I believe is reamed to 1.125". What is the original OD and length of the two bushes used?

Bump. I would be grateful if someone could provide the stock outer diameter and length of the standard 7 tooth bush. The company I linked to above provides the bushing with a correct inner diameter and oversize outer diameter and I was planning to turn down an eccentric bush from these.
