My original drawbar was wobbly in it's original flat bushing at the top of the spindle, which pretty much guaranteed the drawbar wasn't centered when tightened. With the original six-speed gearhead design, I don't think this was much of a big deal. But when I converted to belt-drive and VFD I am now capable of 5k plus spindle rpm so having things centered became a bit more important to me. So I made a flat-topped bushing that 'just' clears the spindle ID and drawbar OD. Noticeably smoother at higher spindle rpms.
Thanks. I may give that a try.
