Guys,

I am looking at making something that needs to have bushed pivots on it and I would like to know if there are any commercially available bushes that fit into standard stock sized commerically available steel tubing.

There is very little load applied to the thing i am making so no high performance materials are required. It would be best if the bush had a crush tube that was plenty long enough to tighten up to before contacting the face of the bush material as its going to be rotated by hand and i dont want the bush face dragging on the insides of the brackets if you get my drift.

Thanks

What are you designing? Might help us give a better answer.

What about using an off the shelf rod end? If there's no great loads involved a cheapy one would probably do the job OK.
