Lil Indian Brass Bushing

#1
I ordered all 3 sizes of the brass flanged bushings from OldMiniBikes warehouse for the neck of my 1966 Lil Indian 400. The only one that will fit in the fork neck won't accomodate the size of the bolt. Is there a special size bushing? 1/2" x 5/8" Bronze Bushing,5/8" x 3/4" Bronze Bushing, and the5/8" x 5/8" Bronze Bushing are the sizes I have now. Thanks for your help.

The bushings that go in the neck are not very beefy. I bought the ones from OldMiniBikes and had a member turn them down to fit in the neck. Worked perfect.:thumbsup:

If your neck tube measures 7/8" OD and takes a 5/8" bolt you'll a .031 wall thin bushings. MINI-MATIC might be able to assist you in finding them. I ended up needed to replace my neck tube and I upgraded to a bigger size tube.

In order to get a good (and snug) fit I had to have new bushings custom machined by a local shop. This gave me the opportunity to make them a little longer. I seem to remember cost being around $40. Expensive, I know, but I felt my Lil Indian was worth the investment. BTW, if you do this, make sure the machinist has the bolt your going to use in his hands.
