Hi folks
a couple of weeks ago Latheman made me some superb quality bushes to allow top/bottom rods to be fitted to UUkha formula limbs/adapters - Thanks Mr L.
The UUkha limbs don't come with the normal Hoyt bushing. These MkI design bushes only failed because of my over-optimism in the bonding power of specialist metal-to-composite glue (see my other post on this) - my fault entirely.
I had considered making a plate with welded bushes to span the two fixing screws for the adapters, which would have the advantage of a more or less central position for the bushes.
But I rejected this because the bush would not be directly fixed to the limb and the top/bot rod effectiveness would be reduced - and I thought that the plate could vibrate with the limb/adapter surface.
So Paul from [email protected] - kindly made me a superb pair of bushes to replace the M6 adapter screw closest to the riser (see pics) - the concept was a joint effort between myself and Mr Latheman. Paul was very proactive in refining the crude initial design - and did a fantastic quality job - thanks Paul.
Ok the position is not central between the limb-bolt and the limb fulcrum - but being mechanically fixed it shouldn't drop off! (fingers crossed).
and i think it will work perhaps 60-80% in vibration suppression compared to hoyt bush location, which is close enough. But far more importantly it will allow me to shoot my bow with my preferred balance set up. - cushty!
I have ordered a couple of high density nylon washers same dia as the bushes to go between the bushes and the limb to minimise stress damage - these should arrive with the post today
I will try em out this evening and let you know how they perform
Cheers
