Hard-to-find-parts sells the recommended petcock replacement parts.

Just noticed that he now sells oil line replacement parts:

Swingarm bushings made of gunmetal with grease groove and fitting aid.

Anyone have thoughts on those swingarm bushings?

I've had similar swingarm bushings with grease groove in my T500K for about 10 years. I bought them off the ebay.de as well.
They are still tight and work great.

I thought they were typically made of bronze. Any issue with using gunmetal?

Volker is selling definitely bronze bushings. Germans use the word "Rotguss" often for bronze.
