68. F100 radius arm wear question

Post by generalee »

So I have the parts to make the front disc swap, and as I start going back together I notice the shaft has a pretty significant wear and I haven't found any replacements (I prefer the forged arms) and I am curious about possible sleeve or other repair methods. It is worn on one side about 1/8" or so. Doesn't look weak enough to break but it is not the way I want it. Of course they don't make them new anymore.

Well ,
you could maybe weld it up and grind it down,
or have a machine shop make a bushing .

But I don't think it'll hurt driving it like that either. :2cents:
