Description

Hi guys!
Here is a simple little thrust washer bearing I decided to offer after using for years the needle roller thrust bearing sold elsewhere.
Not that there was too many things wrong with them, but enough.
First, they don't fit.
Second, they are subject to fouling.
So, I decided to make these special.
They fit absolutely perfectly into the loop of your case pay-off spring.
No butchery is now needed.
And the other guys...
They say some of the presses may require a bit of spring modification.
Well in reality... that means every single one. They cannot fit.
You are gonna find yourself immediately with a couple pair of pliers, trying to force you spring into submission.  So, that is a carefully worded lie.
I make these out of Oil-Lite.
This is an old world product, a powder metal bronze based oil-impregnated bearing material, invented by the Chrysler Corporation..
And used extensively in everything from fishing-reels, to clocks, to turbines and who-knows-what-all.
But, it works real nice. Some say you can tighten up the play in the shell-plate just a bit more, which of course means a bit less wiggle, and further reduction of powder spills.
It is the smallest of my " Speed shop " upgrades, but certainy worth the rather frugal investment.
In order to keep prices low, I just throw these in an envelope, stick a stamp on them and off they go.
No tracking unless combined with something else from the store I have. ( Be sure and have a peek )
Thanks for your interest!
