Re: PA rear spring front pivot

["Tom Metcalf" <mgtom@zoominternet.net>]

Bob,

I use MSC Industrial supply for 1" bronze rod. They have oil impregnated 1" 
bronze bars that have the same characteristics as solid bronze for only $20 
per 6.5" bars. It's good stuff. I used phosphor bronze for my wider N-type 
bushings, but I shoulda used this stuff. MSC has all sorts of different 1" 
bronze alloys.

MSC is at 800.645.7270 in PA. You should have their catalog.    t
