I'm rebuilding a 1984 RC10 Edinger Stamp A. The six gear trans has two teflon bushings (part #6623 in the original manual) that slip into the diffential gears. I cannot fine replacements. Is there anything that can be substituded such as small bearings?

JC,they are gettin harder to find,my last 3 sets came from England.....BUT....Mike at Vulkarie RC has a set on E B right now....JohnnySr

Thanks Johnny. I'll try that but I was thinking that there might be other options. Maybe not. . .

If you have a friend with a milling machine they might be able to mill some outta teflon for you?

Yes, you can install bearings- and those outer sets with the felts are all over ( I'm sure I have a.bunch)

I can't recall the exact dimensions, I want to say those bushings are something like 1/8" x 3/16" and if that is the case, you can buy teflon or ptfe tubing from places like mcmaster-carr by the foot very cheaply and this would make a whole bunch of bushings.
