Used bronze bush

[Johno1958]

I just rescued six worn out flanged bronze bushes from being scrapped at work .
They measure id 90mm od 110mm without the flange and width 15.5mm .
Just wondering if they might be useful to make fly wheels or add weight to one
as it would be a shame for them to just go to scrap.

Absolutely they'd make brilliant flywheel rims. Very similar size to the piece I used on my Rupnow vertical recently.

Put 2 together to sandwich the spokes and fabricate a nice built up one
or 2 wheels for a traction engine.Nice find
