Can the clever people tell me if the yellow bush inside the input shaft on a Fairey overdrive is a standard item and what is the size and specification please ? As I have managed to damage one this afternoon. :thud
Thank You

I've had a look at my Fairey overdrive parts list. Is it the bush shown in part number 29?  That's all I can link to your description. If so it's part number RTC7175 needle bearing service kit which Craddock's have shown in stock.
I can't get a better photograph.

....or could it be item 40 in the attached photo, part number RTC 7170?

Thanks for the replies.
The bush is not shown as a separate item in the parts list, only as part of the main shaft.
I shall order from Synchro gear boxes.
The bush is very thin and getting any purchase on it to draw it out is rather difficult so intend to try and collapse it unless any body can suggest a more gentle approach.

The bushes arrived from Synchro boxes (good service) fitted new bush to overdrive main shaft no problem BUT no way would it fit onto the gearbox output shaft, the internal size of the bush was far too small, so destroy new bush to remove it.
Reamed out anther new bush and it fitted,I  had to remove a fair amount of material to get it to have a good fit.
Any body else had this issue?
