Henry,
I had the same thought as JB earlier in your post when I was reviewing your thoughts on some protective measures to keep the harsh dust out of your bushing bores. At the time I couldn't come up with a solution to make the RTV stick to the parent material around the bushings, while allowing the shaft movement. But now I'm thinking maybe wrapping a single layer of celophane around the shaft while the RTV cures, would do the trick.
BTW, was it cost that brought you to use plastic v bronze bushings? I know the plastic would be more difficult the control the bore sizing.
Please keep us posted on the net results.
