DIY: Shifter bushes replace with bearings?

[EP82 Touge]

Hi guys,

Is there a DIY article on this anywhere or the part numbers to buy?

Cheers

Im sure you get kits for brass bushes mate as far as I know they arent difficult to find, just dont ask me who stocks them because when Ive seen them Ive never been looking for them so it doesnt stick in my head.

Yeah a few guys stock them, but postage makes a simple item like that a bit of a waste. I should be able to find something local hopefully.

Cheers

I have the skateboard bearings fitted. Someone posted a link from a levin forum or similar.

I fitted skateboard bearings as well. Great job, far better and tighter gear selection.

.308 bearings rings a bell.
