[DeTomaso] pilot bearing

[JDeRyke at aol.com]

There are THREE different 'Oilite' bushing materals and two of them have 
iron powder in the sintered mix, which not only makes them magnetic and oddly 
colored, it makes them abrasive to gear steel. The only one that is a true 
bronze is 'Oilite 841'. 
'Super Oilite' is 18-22% iron
'Super Oilite 16' is also 18-22% iron with 1% graphite which makes this 
varient gray/black. Both the super-oilites have become more popular with 
sellers (but not buyers) since the large price increase for copper and tin. 
Take your magnet with you when you buy bronze bushings over the counter. 
Throw any back that stick. I get my real bronze bushings from Lakewood 
Industries.   Good luck- J Deryke
