Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum, but I'm tearing my hair out here! I have a Model Slipway Irishman tug which I am in the process of restoring. I am currently at the stage of re installing the RC installation and upon tank testing, I found that water was leaking past the nylon bushings on the end of the prop shaft inside the hull. It is a flanged type bush which has an ID of 4mm an OD of 6.3mm and a flange OD of 8mm. All sizes approximate. Can anyone offer advice as to where I could purchase replacements, as I don't want to have to remove the prop shafts from the hull. I've looked all over the Internet to no avail!

Model Slipway's shafts and tubes are made by SHG Marine Models Supplies. You might try ringing them for a new set of bushes. These are a push fit into the tubes.
