My husband knows people in the tool room and told them about my problem. One of the guys wanted the tubes to make some bushings. He made a set for the cap(the part that didn't fit to begin with) and asked me to try them out.
WOW! These things fit snuggly in the tubes and I put a tube on them and put them on the lathe. They spin perfectly, no wobble at all. They are not all polished and shiny, but they work awesome.:biggrin: The large part is a little smaller than the originals because he used some scrap to make them, but I can use calipers to get the correct size for now.
He said he can make another, better pair if they work. I should get the pair for the body part today.
A picture for the "no picture, didn't happen" folks.:wink:
