Kanguro X1 Rocker Spindles

Post by dbd32 »

Hi There
Noisy top end on my Kanguro X1 have found the rocker spindles and bushes are worn. can get bushes fron NLM but they dont have the spindles.
Can anyone supply me with new ones or know of a supplier here in UK or in Europe
Cheers

Unless the situation has changed, then the bushes that NLM can supply are scintered bronze and need to be machined to fit. The original bi-metal bearings are not available.

I've rebuilt a few sets of valve gear, which involves a bronze/lead/PTFE bushes, new heat treated rocker shafts, and reprofiled rocker tips. I don't have a firm price for a rebuild yet.
