sparky_spit Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Just before the 2019 10CR I bought new rear trunnion kits to fit to my Spitfire. I ended up not using them as they were dimensionally wrong (see other threads on this) and reused the best bits of my collection of used spare ones. I now need to replace the nearside one as it has developed too much play. Has anyone bought a kit recently and found it to now be okay? And have the top-hat bush flange ends been squared off properly to support the O ring seal? I suspect they all come from the same manufacturer, regardless of end retailer, and just don't want to end up with useless parts again.

yorkshire_spam Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I did mine a few years ago using Superflex, you just use the 2 bush halves and the centre sleeve, no seals or caps. https://www.superflex.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=SF375-1850KSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Perfect - I didn't think of those. I'll order some now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I purchased some kits recently, they really are quite poor. i may be raiding some old shafts in search of usable bits. Or ring Mr Witor. He has been a bit hard to get hold of lately apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
