Looks it doesnt it!! Before you go that route though - have a read of this...

there's a typo though - it should be an SLFL25 bearing as per here

Well worth doing from the start

Hmmmm, interesting. Loooks relatively simple but as I already have a Sierra one fitted (theres a lot of play in it) what mod would I need to do to bulkhead where the existing bush locates?

To be honest - not much. Probably just open the hole up and drill a couple of mounting bolt holes.

From what i've read - the numbers of those who have upgraded like this from standard must be in the several dozens so you wont be the first to do the bulkhead mods.

Hi,

You can get the bearings at 1" which fits the Sierra plastic bush perfectly without having to machine anything off. Eriks http://www.eriks.co.uk/ do them and there are plenty of branches throughout the country.
