Default Bronze pilot bushing

Anyone know the dimensions of the bronze pilot bushing that goes on the tranny input shaft and into the crank rear? I'm trying to find a pure bronze one that doesn't have the iron shavings in it (non magnetic). I heard it's better in that it won't wear the shaft as much.

Yup - it's 1.094" OD, 0.594" ID.

Thanks John. I'll be looking at some bushing websites to see if they have this dimension in all bronze. If not, then this will have to do.

I've searched to no avail your photo of the differential carrier front support bracket bolts, which are through and through, opposite each other, one of which has a castle nut. If you can find it, would you please post it here? I'm trying to teach mechron that his two separate bolts on the front holes (where the castle bolt should go), although acceptable, is not correct (neither one of us cares, but it's sort of a friendly challenge).

The Federal-Mogul is solid bronze as you can see in my 'test'.







The bracket bolts are shown in the Assembly Manual-UPC 4/B1.

Thanks buns, just what I was looking for, non magnetic! Where do I buy Fed Mogul stuff?

The manual shows a bad drawing of the bracket with bolts, but there are pics out there beautifully taken of that setup that shows it all very clearly.
