I seem to remember a while ago someone mentioned a needle roller bearing conversion for the z1b. Does anyone have any information on this or have I got it completely wrong ?
Are the original bushes etc available ?
I have a box section arm on at the moment but have a std arm waiting to go in but it has no bearings/ bushes spacers etc so I will need the lot.

I used Z900A4 parts to convert my Z1A. There's a little bit of lathe work required as the centre spacers are slightly different and you'll need to turn the ends off the old bushes to space the swing arm correctly into the frame. I covered it in the rebuild series in CMM, it's in there somewhere if you dig through the back issues.
