And that's exactly what I'm afraid of - clearance. Therefore plan B will be to experiment with various size washers under the brush plate to provide clearance. Plan C will be using a straight bushing, pressed into an enlarged hole, even with the backside of the brush plate - then glued. I gotta believe that will work, and it should take care of Joe's issue (a worn armature where it went through the brush plate) due to the bearing's added length. If it works and it's nice and long, that should never be an issue again!
I was expecting all three types of bearings today, but something must have happened in the US mail - should have been here Tuesday, nothing today - in fact NO mail today - highly unusual. Did I miss a holiday?
