Hi Stephen,

I actually thought about that - does not appear to be so easy. The Bronze/brass ring is press fit into the arms which are not exactly the beefiest of aluminum casting of forgings (hard to tell which). Finding a bushing with correct id, od and length - even by scrounging from otherwise defunct Mafac model that had them and then press fitting to a Racer to get longer arm and easier straddle cable situation might work. Feels like too much work and a bit risky. Anybody tried it?
