Here, here!!

In that vein, I am trying to figure out a replacement for the NLA 016
shift bushing that fits in the shaft for the shift linkage and snaps
onto the lever on the 016.   Mine disintegrated and I am borrowing my
brother's linkage until I get a replacement.   It looks like a pretty
easy part to manufacture, mostly a cylinder with formed ball socket.
Does anyone know how to mill or lathe a ball socket?   James Bufkin
has some nice tooling and I'd like to try making a delrin (or hard 
rubber) replacement.  I have looked on the internet a lot for info
but found nothing relevant.

Other ideas for replacing the 016 bushing are welcome. 


Thanks,
Eric
