Good to know Brendan. My do not spin but are original. Sounds like there shouldn't be an issue then.

I am in for a set then as well.

:: The e27 "bearings" are simple bushings made from plastic
:: (delrin or similar). Any machinist can make them for you
:: if you supply ID, OD, and length. I know that KKMI has
:: made some for e27s...
::
:: Buzz's bushings should work fine (if he will make
:: them)--he will cut them with a C&C lathe to the original
:: dimensions. You may need to trim length (sand or cut
:: with bandsaw)
::
:: Even if your hull had a "spinner" in the past thus
:: enlarging the hole for them, you should still be OK, as
:: bushings should be glued (ie: vinylester) into the hull.

:: Hi Everyone,

:: :: I could be in as well but my understanding is that it is

:: :: really tight fit. Has anyone used a generic bearing like
:: :: the one Buzz makes?
:: ::
:: :: Also, don't get me wrong I know Buzz is an icon in the
:: :: Express fleet, I have just heard some other information
:: :: and thought I should bring it up. Curious to hear what
:: :: others have to say.

:: :: :: I am in need as well. Looks like we need 2 more.

:: :: :: :: I need to do rudder bearings. I called Ballenger and
:: :: :: :: they do not currently have any and would not be building
:: :: :: :: them unless there was an order of 5. They are $145 for
:: :: :: :: the set. Anyone need/interested?
:: :: :: ::
:: :: :: :: If not, has anyone had a shop make them up recently? If
:: :: :: :: so where?
