All of my ACE trucks came with journal bushings that were brass or Delrin. Today I think the brass inserts may be found locally in arts & crafts stores or leather goods stores. I did a Google search and found Ohio Travel Bag <http://www.ohiotravelbag.com/> and this PDF file: <http://www.ohiotravelbag.com/pdf/p2004-a.pdf> The bottom of page 8 of p2004-a.pdf has "Eyelets and Grommets" that may work as axle bushings. For historical purposes, my 1998-1999 Downs/ACE/Rusti catalog shows: >Delrin Journal Bushings For ACE Trucks >[Part] #4051 >Designed to be used with all ACE trucks. These new bushings replace >the older brass eyelet and significantly improve truck rollability. >Conversion instructions are included. A 3.00 mm drill is required. >Pkg. of 16 >$1.00 > >ACE Truck Spacers >[Part] #4052 >These spacers are designed to be used with Code 110 and Code 125 >wheelsets. Will reduce the side-to-side movement of the wheelsets >when placed on the DELRIN bushings before insertion. >Pkg. of 16 >$1.00 Brass eyelets were available as parts in sizes from 3/32 x 4/32 to 5/32 x 7/32, 12 for $1.00. -- Bill Roberts Yahoo!
