We've put up another episode of our show about motorbike DIY. I needed
a new hardened steel spacer for my Cagiva's swingarm linkage so Trent
cut a Ducati one down using a Dremel attached to the toolpost of a
lathe.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Waz <(E-Mail Removed)>
saying something like:

A bit beyond my bodging boundary.

Fortunately, these items are obtainable for a 1996 YZ250. I'm hoping
to find a package has been delivered with all the bearings, bushes,
spacers and seals required when I get home.

If you can, post the dimensions and part/bearings numbers on a forum
somewhere. Think of it as a time capsule for a poor sod in the future
who's looking for something that can be adapted to fit his bike.
