Hi all Re the bushes in question . This is a bit of a mystery. I dismantled a VC today and am at a loss to understand these bushes at the moment.
After removing the nut that holds the bottom of the handle thru the bush and removing the handle lower half. I see the bush has a nylong ring on each side. After fiddling arond for a while it take to the nylon ring with a sharpish screwdriver and chisel it off.Then I pushed the bush out using a small socket a a punch ,expecting to find the bush to be in two halves but it is a one piece item . The bush , with a nylon ring on each side has the appearance of being a2 piece effort with half being from each side but this is not so.
It could be that a nylon washer is place on one end and has become fused to the bush over the years. . If I can masterthe art of uploading pics to this site then I will send pics of the bush and the flange I chiselled off.
Perhaps Bruce can chec the Parts listing and see how it is described as I do not have a VC Parts list Cheeers Joe
