Need source for the flanged bushing for Athern trucks | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I need a quantity of flanged bushings to center 2-56 screws in the cross beam of Athern 0 freight scale trucks.

Any known source? Thank you. tt

Easier more accessible solution is to buy the Walthers 2-56 brass washers. Many hobby shops stock them. They drop into the bolster hole and fit the 2-56 mounting screw just right. I have used these when mounting many many pairs of Athearn trucks. Usually just one truck per car unless it wobbles a lot.

Or you could just use 4/40 screws.....

Thanks, I am aware of those two approaches. Just something right about the flanged bushing. I had an old stash but am now out of them.

Another widget I need is the extended shouldered screw and spring for mounting the Sunset hwt three axel trucks on pass cars.
