Drake-Compatible Top Hat — Spigot Upper Sleeve Bush

Direct-fit aftermarket replacement, machined from E470 Hollow Bar at the Enex workshop in Malaga, Perth WA. Made to original equipment spec — no rework, no spacer kits.

This bush locates and retains other components so they stay put under vibration and load - when it cracks, distorts or its holes elongate, the parts it holds start to move. It locates on the spigot to keep the mating parts concentric. EE018 is a direct-fit replacement cut and drilled to the original pattern. Confirm fit by sending your worn part, photo or dimensions.

// What it does & how it wears

Signs it needs replacing

Brackets, retainers and plates fail by fatigue: hairline cracks around welds or holes, elongated or wallowed-out bolt holes, bent or dished sections, and fasteners that keep coming loose because the part no longer clamps square. A fresh plate restores proper retention before the part it holds works free.

Made from E470 Hollow Bar - a clean seamless hollow-bar stock that machines true and gives a stable, consistent bore for sleeves and bushes.
