Thank you very much, rich. I found a lot of options with the sintered bronze thrust bearings and they are so much more economical. I found a sleeve bearing as well that fit in the tolerances, but the material was called "Rulon" bronze. Any idea what this is? I'll probably ask them in an email, but I'd rather look like an idiot amongst friends. :) Found a bunch of sintered bronze sleeves, but they are too thick, can I flapper disc these down? Obviously this won't be very precise, but since it's just a windvane i thought it might be ok.
Since it's not about music, I'll try to bounce this off Ries as well.
