Pilot Bushing, Bronze 17mm

The 21mm OD/ 17mm ID will fit most Kent crossflow-based engines (including Cosworth BD and Lotus Twin Cam with 6 and 12-bolt cranks) and Pinto-based engines (including Cosworth YB). The 17mm bore size fits the early English Ford transmission with a 17mm input shaft and many rear-wheel-drive transmission input shaft normally used with these engines, including Ford-based and VW-based (Hewland / Webster) transaxles. The pilot bearing is installed in the crankshaft at the flywheel end. This 17mm ID crankshaft pilot bushing is for Ford / Lotus lip seal crankshafts. We have found bronze bushings are more reliable and last longer than needle bearing type. Application: For the following engines with lip seal cranks (6 and 12 bolt) Ford Kent Ford Crossflow Ford PreCrossflow Lotus Twin Cam
