this has been some good new for the day !

i didnt even think of that, i guess thats the extra 20 years of experience :)

i am a bit worried that my OD is a bit too small to fit that bearing tho, but i could machine up a bronze bush

That's what I would do. I don't htink the smaller tip is too weak or it would have snapped off in it's previous life.
