You can drill out your own brackets for the larger pivot bolt or I can do it for you. Said good guy Andrew Carr just gave me a pair ; i drilled and will powder coat...I ran out of brackets, peeps never sent theirs back lol

Did you ever get the bushing clearance issue solved? Even on the replacement set you sent me, the bearing pin still sits below the height of the bushing, requiring bearing shims.

all the bearing sleeves are proud now. Machinists can screw up, I have a set mismatched came in the other day. Funny thing is, my set which are indentical to yours and a set in Grand Prairie Alberta are still good after four years of use. Not sure what the deal is. Warren said his were resolved with maintenance. So....
