Can I buy bearing washers from say knife kits.com and put them in my bulldog or mini15 ? Or would their not be room ?
It is possible to find phosphor bronze washers that fit Emersons and many including myself have tried them. IMHO they offer nothing in regards to smoothness and only a bit in regards to stiffness in prying. Emerson hasn't found a need for them in 20 years and compared to Nylatron they will corrode. If you still must try them search for 0.250 inch ID and 0.500 OD with a thickness of 0.003 to 0.005
As far as conversion to true ball bearings, you will need to machine the liners.

If they work I would like to get some from you. Any way to contact you ?For some reason I cannot get the image to upload to photo bucket but I made a ampco 45 pivot pin and two bushings tonight. Will try them out to see how they work
