6. FEROBESTOS L.A. -

D = 1 3/8" water lubrication
when N was 720 /u was .0016
" N " 187 /u " .028

Ferobestos can be turned to any required size. It is usual to supply finished bushes.

The usual tolerances on the bore are
up to 1" dia. .002"
1" to 3" " .003"
above 3" " .005"

L.A. is somewhat easier to make than N.W.I.

This information was obtained from Mr. Shilton of Ferodo.
