I finally got some pics of the part that I'm missing - the bushing that holds the pinion in place.

I knew I was not making up a memory of a silver bushing.

The main question is, where to source the bushing?

If it is just a bush, could you not make up a nylon one, using some rod, and a Dremel?

Even if you have to make another periodically, buy a metre of rod and you'd be set for life.

eg:

Sounds like a plan, I've got a mate with a plastic printer, wonder if that's a better idea?

It's strange that this component does not show up in any parts diagrams.
Mind you, the pinion is often not shown either....

Pal thinks he can knock something up with his printer - fingers crossed!

Did a bit more digging around today and came across this link for a gear set on Alibaba.
