Off
Topic Question for the old-timers

Apologies
up front for OT, but you guys know more than anyone I've
spoken to on the phone today.

Does anyone know the proper terminology for the attached
pic? Pillow, Pillow
Block, Oval, ovoid, egg, spring, all seem to not be
proper.

It's an oil-impregnated sintered bronze bushing that was
very common a half
century ago in small electric motors. It is a self-centering
design, usually
held in place by a convex spring, felt washer, and riveted
or spot-welded
retainer. I have had success in the past just boring out and
pressing in new
straight bushing stock. I think I had a little too much bite
on the chuck and
it sprung out oversized once removed.

Yes, I know, i could make one, but that 5/8 OD is a bit out
of the range for
1/4 ID stock. This is an on-going issue as I repair small
electric motors for
classic cars.

I rarely post, but I learn a lot on this forum.

Thanks in advance.
