I used this : http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ros-21-strut for my Mean Machine. The strut comes with a floating bushing, if I am correct, one needs to use 1/4" K&S brass tube to make a sleeve so the bushing free floats ( rotates) in it while the sleeve is Thread Locked in the aliminum bore.
Problem: I got the OSE and/or Kintec flex cable, the 3/16" stub shaft has quite a bit of free play in the floating bushing , and the bushing itself has some free play in the sleeve .
Is this normal or just production variances in tolerance? I don't want to spent that kind of money to find out, would this be a good subsititute?88214 This is from Kintec--- http://kintecracing.com/Hardware.html . I have not had "FREE PLAY ISSUE" with teflon bushing struts, does this one fit the Speed master bracket and are other dimensions the same.
Any advices will be greatly appreciated.
