the forks are with my mechanic.
apparently the bush isn't available separately from the fork tube.
trying to find a second hand fork - will get pics if i can't get one soonish.
thanks though SPB.

Ken the removable bush is most likely something like a 'glycodur' bush. Find a size and see if someone like Auckland bearings can help. Mechanics [no matter how good] are not interested or arguably that capable of adaption when the need arises-a good Engineer would easily [and cheaply] create a suitable solution.
