Need a mild steel bush making ..

[Wightsparks]

Anyone with a lathe do this for me please, for requisite number of beer tokens of course.

Basically it's a 37mm long bush to fit over a 22.1mm shaft to replicate the bearing and seal surface of another shaft - for my Sandrail engine conversion (this part of how I am getting round not being able to join the shafts)

So this is the part of the shaft I want to duplicate



These are the dimensions



Right to left:
30mm OD for 16.6mm
Groove 2.1mm x 0.7mm deep
30mm OD for 2mm
27mm OD for 13.6mm
30 deg chamfer x 2.7mm

Looking for a sliding fit over the 22.1mm shaft as I will glue it with Loctite 638

Thanks !

Those journals really need to be harden and ground.
Mild steel and a lathe ain’t going to get the job done.

Its just a spacer to sit a bearing on that is not loaded. I could even do the thing without a bearing.

Alternatively, if I cut the end bit off the actual shaft , as it is only case hardened would it be possible to lathe a 22.1mm hole through the middle then chop the other end off?

That would seem to be a better option.
Drop me a PM if no one else offers (I a bit busy but could do it).

I’d be up for either option you wish to go down.
Could make a new one out of en24 for you or bore out your existing one. Pm me to discuss if you want to.

Thanks guys!
Matt, it seems like Richard may have more availability so I've asked him to do it. Progress at last !

 

[Richard.]

Is this near enough for what is required

 

[Wightsparks]

That's just perfect.
Thanks Richard, I'll sort you out in a mo...

I do really like this forum as people actually want to help each other rather than sling abuse etc.

Nice one guys
Bush looks good,

Bush is the original shaft end. I just shoved a hole through it.
My band saw wouldn’t touch that case hardened shaft. Very very hard.

Well it might just be coincidence but the factory next door to the Mazda place makes these
