Beginning Restoration

I am prepping the swing arm for powder coating and I have two bushing issues. First is the shock mount bushings. I wrecked one of them getting it out and cannot come up with a part number/source for a replacement.

The other bushings are the brass (or steel?) ones that are at the pivot point of the swing arm. I don't think I can remove them without causing damage. They don't appear worn and I would like to leave them in if I can.

I will post pics when I get home tonite.

BTW, has that motor shown up yet?

Thanks
Paul

I have the steel ones (USED).
Usually fellers leave the shock ones in place and they survive the process.
I have one somewhere around here.
No engine yet. .......................lm

Paul,
Are you using Bill Silver's manuals? Reason I ask is because all of the part numbers are in that encyclopedia. Like I said, leave the swing arm ones, tape over them. And Ed is right regarding the shock arm bushings--leave them and I know, you already wrecked the other one. I had the book but I lent it to my brother in law because he is restoring a Scrambler as we speak otherwise I could get you a number. Sorry.

Ohio Cycle do a Bronze bush for the swing arm pivot, everything including the seals are available.

He is looking for a part number for the bushing that goes in the swing arm for the shocks to mount. I have never taken one of them out--

I have several here if he wants one.
I'm going to do his engine.
The BUSH can be installed after the Powder Coating is applied. .........lm
