Scott, I have several Weinnmans, of which 65 Paramont is the oldest one I have.

There is no plastic bushing but pivots bolts(posts) are rivetted. I inspected inside walls of arm, but there is no brass bushing as Mafac Dural Forged unit. I do not think Weinnman unit NEVER used plastic bushing as Mafac Racer. Rather they used for front washers.

I would like to se inseide of pre 64 arms, is there anyone who has wintnessed "BRASS" bushings??
