This a similar events fall into the category of "feces
occurs".  It is not Protek's fault it is the crap S&S does
to good bushing felt.  They just cannot let go the idea that
Teflon just does not work the way they do it.  Alfie Knight
made it work really well but would S&S learn from anothers
success?  Not bloody likely and they don't learn from their
own mistakes either.

Repin the damned things and get on with the rest of your
life.  You will have to repin them in a couple of years
because then they will be too loose, or too tight or just
plain too...

I have fought with those things enough for two lifetimes.

Enough ranting.
