Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Okay Don---this is going to get kinda involved. This first model is a ball bushing. It is a 2 peice unit consisting of an outer housing (purple) and an inner bearing (yellow). The gearshift (we are going to show a plate style shift lever for simplicity), has a hole bored thru at the pivot point, and this purple bushing gets pressed into it. The purple outer housing is 1/2" thick, and is a hard press fit into the shifter, which is also 1/2" thick. (Sizes are arbitrary). The yellow ball inside the purple housing is free to rotate. The hole thru the center of the yellow ball is 3/8" diameter. The purple housing is 1 1/8" outer diameter.---Stay tuned----
