My friend Neill needed a couple bronze bushings made, and I had a 30" long bar of some unknownium bronze that he had given me last year. We think it's an aluminium bronze because of the color, the way it cuts and the appearance of having been centrifugal cast. Whatever it is it should be OK for the low speed, light duty application of rear swing arm bushings for an old Yamaha YSR50. It's a tiny little motorbike, no worries about swingarm twisting torque.
Quite a lot coming off the approximately 3-1/4" (85mm) bar to make bushings with a 23mm press diameter and 30mm major shoulder O.D. size.
