I believe what little play there is in the stock coupler comes from the plastic in the bushings.

Thanks for the response-have been thinking the brass bush option too as quite a few $ less for maybe a similar feel (not too worried about noise etc that gets talked about as wevo would probably be similar in this regard). The derlin? seem to be another popular option but have heard good things on brass. Do these have to be pressed into place with a press or can you do without (use vice etc)?
When you say easier to adjust-do you mean adjusting the coupler clamp?
The complete couplers do seem to help a few issues but once a few bushes etc and freight is added I'm close to 500bucks to get to NZ which is getting a mid mad vs. less than 200 for brass.
