    Hi all, I have lost my bronze swingarm spacing collar and now making new ones. I have the inner and outer diameters (width) but need the length. Does anyone on here have one that is off the bike and measuring caliper (mm if possible :) to get the thickness (length) of the collar, please? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've moved the bike from different garage twice now and in the process, some small pieces went missing. I have a lathe and have turned down and bored the collar, now all I need is the length at which to cut it...Thank you in advanced for your help.

    Are you talking about the one that goes inside the rear axle, or the washer-type one that goes on the outside of the brake cover?

    Neither, they go where the swingarm mounts to the frame. There are two of them the same size, bronze in color. I don't need the diameters, just the thickness (length).

    Oh, Ok...........I thought you meant at the rear axle. I don't have any of those apart right now to measure--Send an email or "start a conversation" with Len Chacal. Email is : info@xj4ever.com or just find user " Chacal ". He'll tell you all you need to know, and then a whole lot more :)

    I don't believe there are any bronze/brass bushings in there? There's a steel COLLAR/SPACER that fits inside the oil seal, its size is:

    OD: 25.00mm
    ID: 17.10mm
    Thick: 7.00mm
