Hi all,
I don't know about you, but here in Ames, IA, the middle of the middle of
the middle West, I simply could not find the "bronze bushings" called for
in the plans. On a recent trip to Chicago, I found a source:
Mail:
McMaster-Carr Supply Co.
P.O. Box 4355
Chicago, IL 60680-4355
Plant:
600 County Line Road
Elmhurst, IL 60126-2081
Tel: (630) 833-0300
Fax: (630) 834-9600
E-mail: chi.sales@mcmaster.com
Internet: http://www.mcmaster.com
BTW, I found out these things are not called "bronze bushings" around here,
but "bronze bearings" or more familiarly, "pillowblocks". They are
available in a variety of types and range in [rice from less than $10 each
to about $25 each. I've managed to find everything else quite easily at
our local Lowe's.
Hope this helps.
