Thanks for your responses Patrick, Dave x2, Bill and Perry. I hadn't figured
on the lubrication angle. As I wanted to put things back together, I used
short lengths of rubber hose a fraction longer than the posts, just to keep
metal from metal.
As you know, Patrick, "sunny" is relative. Was in Cairns for 10 days
recently - now there's sunny for you! By the way, can you send that Johns
bloke somewhere sunny for a month or so?
Cheers
Peter

G'day Peter
Stone the crows Peter where in Pete's sake is sunny Queensland?
Somewhere on the other side of the page north of Sydney, the centre of
the Universe I reckon. Costs more to ship from Sydney to Queensland as
it's all up hill. But everyone knew that anyway.
Little felt thingos on the steady posts? Stop noise? Anti-rattle?
Whatever they are not hard to make from a thick piece of felt, but make
sure it's grey felt or the concours police will be after you. There is
only one catch and that you will probably have to visit a haberdashery
store and that's not a pleasant way to spend a lunchtime.

G'day list from sunny Queensland!
Just been checking out a minor oil leak from a rear hub. Whilst doing
this I cleaned up the backplate etc (shoes off) When reassembling, I
found one of the little felt bushes that go on the shoe steady posts
missing, and the other pretty chewed up. What, if any, purpose do these
serve (I can't see one as they don't seem solid enough to keep the shoe
off the end of the post) - and is there an alternative?
Cheers
