I don't think that is the best solution, Jon. First, I think it would be really difficult and frustrating (impossible?) to try to thread the strip of bushing cloth inside the coil. Secondly, the diameter of the bushing used is too small in all directions, the bushing needs to fill the coil completely along with the stiffness of a large center pin so that it does not move at all. Unfortunately, the best solution here is the one that takes the most time, namely rebush and repin.

Instead of reboring and installing a larger bushing and pin, could you simply insert and glue a strip of bushing cloth behind the spring to hold it more firmly against the current support? -- Regards, Jon Page
