Belzona 1111 was applied to both surfaces and the bushings were twisted into place. A long shaft was inserted to align the four bushings.
Belzona Facts
Welding and boring were considered but it would have stressed the metal, possibly causing misalignment of the arms. The cold applied Belzona product was the only true solution.
