I'm trying to understand what I see in those pictures. Are the new 
bushings to the far left and right of the picture with the originals 
in the center?

How did you make those? Did you mill or turn them from plastic stock?

I'm confused by "trimmed off" and don't understand what you mean. Did 
you remove them?

Where did you get the gear? Junk box? Did you measure it? Any chance 
we could know what sort of gear to order?
