-bit of a long shot I know, but does anyone out there have an unwanted
splashback to suit a Myford Super 7 industrial stand? The stand is the

I need to rebush a distributor shaft on a 40 year old Lucas distributor.
The original bush was sintered iron, pressed in then honed in-situ. As I'm
having difficulty sourcing sintered iron what are your thoughts on using
sintered phospher bronze? As it runs at half engine speed ...
