    Well join the NZSRA, come to the AGM at Hampton & give them all a jolly good shouting at about it. Bring your water bottle too & squirt the ones that argue with you. Id love to see that again, it was priceless.

    That was when you went to help push start Tracey on the line at Manfield when she stalled & you squirted the official that tried to stop you helping.

    anyhow....

    can anybody tell me why nobody uses bearings in the pivot point between the fork and front swinging arm?

    Everybody seems to have a hardon for bushes (calm down Scrivy).

    sure was, the dam race had not even started, and they just stood there and did nothing FFS I did apologise to the official later on though,m as they are volunteers and appreciated, but bet he learnt a good lesson for the future in case lol Once a chair racer, always one I guess.

    Ours has bushes, but it must be the only moving part on the chassis that we haven't rebuilt. Instead we had to make new bushes rather than chop the bottom off the fork legs.

    But if that point were to ever be replaced, it'd get bearings.

    Shit, the gear lever pivot is bearings on ours at the moment...but it's prolly getting done away with.

    Curious, why would you do away with bearing pivot points, and what is better than a bearing acting as such then?

    Well BMW always used bearings in their Earles forks...But bushes are more tolerant of misalignment (read that as, a damm good and rigid jig is needed to keep them in alignment when the fork is welded...) So for the average punter, bushes are easier.
    That said, i've always been amazed at the Speedway chairs using bushes for the steering head...

    I thought it may have had something to do with soaking up bumps or something, but I would have thought all the force is basically transferred from the axle straight up into the front shocks.

    the windle front end I have in my shed has these funny urethane bushes that are all flogged out.

    Had to be some thing logical like that. Bearings are made to go around ( Move) Bushes are made to fill in spaces

    machining urethane has defeated some good machinists...but a rough bugger like me can do it.
    Replacements can be made...at a cost.....

    I used to run the machine shop at a plastic manufacturing firm, piece of piss. pity I don't have a cnc machine at home.

    I'm not using that windle front end, just have it here to look at, will be making one from scratch.
