Send yours to Tom Morgan Racing for a new bushing.
All you will likely find on the used market is the same worn out part you already own.

Hello,
What are the tolerances on this bush please. Mine too has a lot of play. I can make one and fit it. I guess the question is how much wobble should there be, or should it be a wobble free spin fit ?
Thanks all

None are published that I am aware of.
I measure the shaft and use +.001/-.000

Hey guys so I sent my gears to Tom Morgan to get a bushing machined. The 1990 gear was quite wobbly and the 1988 I have was really bad
