    Strut bushing ?.

    I have a Matrix out Rigger, with speed master hardware. The strut bushing keeps sliding up into the stuffing tube. Thus this lets the flexshaft have excessive play at the end of the srtut. Can i put a drop of CA glue on the bushing to keep it in place, or should i do something else?.

    You could cut a section of stuffing tube to fit inside the strut. You'd want the bushing to slide into the tube and the tube into the strut. This is what I did in my twin cat. The 2 sections of stuffing tube would butt up against each other in the strut. The step at the end fo the bushing will prevent it from going any further into the stuffing tube.

      Probably the best option to stop the bushing from spinning is to tin the outside of the bushing. You can build it up to a desired thickness and press it into the strut. Old gasser trick.
