Thanks Paul, in fact I have found a local guy who has a lathe and has accepted the challenge of making a sintered bronze bush. I hope to get the new part back in a day or so. I managed to communicate with Clive and he was really helpful on the bush material (Phosphor Bronze PBI) and clearances (0.001"). I picked up a box of Silk spares which included a spare kickstart shaft so I can try some alternate strategies. Is it worth updating the bush, or is it even possible, to update an earlier bronze assembly to needle roller?

Looking forward to perhaps meeting some fellow Silk owners at Popham this year, or anywhere local in Berkshire/Wiltshire/Hampshire. We can share battle stories.....
