I have a small bronze bushing whose OD I'd like to expand slightly so
it fits the ID of a tube.
I seem to recall there was a way to expand the OD slightly with
something like a knurling tool.
Does that sound familiar?
Is there an easy way to do this? - Mike

sEE YOU'VE UPSET ME THAT MUCH THAT THE CAPS LOCK HAS JAMBED.


Don't bother

michael.
I once drove 600km getting a bushing sorted out.
the first time it was too tight.
trimmed off a bit.
slightly too loose.
worked out the fit needed, next time a perfect drive fit, just tap in
place.
600km to get it just right.
the project now sits in my backyard workshop.

do it properly or the bushing will wear prematurely.
if you cant get one locally I can machine one in phos bronze and post
it to you.
is easy.
you've probably still got my email address.
