Thread Name: church bell. 2nd installment
Subject: RE: church bell. 2nd installment
John B is right in the sense that the bronze bushing is replaceable and will wear faster than the steel bolt. But different metals (bronze on steel) will have less friction and usually less wear than if the hole and the bolt were made of the same material. But no one will care about this sort of thing by Friday evening, when they hear the bell again, will they? :-) All the best -HM
