    Bigherb I needed to shift the van this weekend so me mechanic mate suggested I take it to the old school bloke who does all his stuff like that, he had it and when I picked it up I asked about the fibre washers and he said he had replaced them with turned phosphor bronze bushes that are oil impregnated by all accounts, there is a very small amount of end play,when I asked him why Bosch use fibre he said cos they are cheap, there is a slight amount of play and it is smoooooth, I do worry it might get hot and sieze but me best mate the mechanic says Im worrying about nothing, I must say he looked like he knew what he was doing, he looked like Pinoccios dad in an engineers coat and his work bench was impressive,, and it was cheap!!
