Title: Hose reel bushes
Post by: shammy davis jnr on May 20, 2020, 07:32:51 pm

Hi guys
Was wondering what alternatives I have here I have 2 raised reels in van hand winders but working fine.. But I have noticed that just after the handel there is a spacer that is getting worn rather rapidly,,, as only like plastic can thes be replaced by say a spacer with ball bearings to reduce friction and made of somthing a bit better than the plastic used,,,???

Anything  can be replaced.
"just after the handel"
Could be anywhere.
