I wonder how it will work with adjustable column, but should be ok - it doesn't need too much move...

Sounds great - not sure all of them work like that - where did you get it from?! Is it available in UK as easily as Poland?

That one doesn't look like it can be angled in the mount though...?

I'm pretty sure it does, ill take mine out the bag and check later.

Like i said tonnes of peeps have spec'd that bearing for this job

Yes - "SLFL25 LDK Pressed Steel Flange Bearing" it's the same type of bearing. There are minor differences in insert bearings, but they are not important (like tube length etc.)

But - it wasn't so easily available in Poland - especially housing isn't popular. Everyone (except me) prefer cast iron housing for agricultural equipement...

But I wanted "lightweight" version So for my special order... I got it.

Aint we a pair.

Although I can also confirm that the 25mm one doesn't fit the MX5 column... :doh: I would know that if I had read the Saturn guide properly that says to buy the 205-14 (7/8") one, or even measured my column.

Luckily I have some 1" bar stock that I can make a bush out of.

Looks like we have to specify what donor running gear parts fit

So... to make it clear - mentioned earlier bearing fits Sierra steering column (with little bush turning or without modification).

Bumping this to the top rather than start a new thread.

I'm using a standard Sierra rubber bush to support my steering column - will this be good enough for IVA man?

I have also replaced the (worn) nylon collar that fits into the rubber bush, however it is a bit slack. Was thinking of turning up a PTFE collar with a retaining lip to take up the slack - again, ok for IVA man?
