clutch rebuild

[STAIN]

Thinking about rebuilding my primary clutch and was shocked at the prices for rollers or roller bushings. I sized some bronze bushings of the same size for about $3.50 each. Would the bronze take the pressure that these rollers endure? Would they crack? I know they last forever in suspensions.

In suspensions those bushings are encapsulated, in a clutch, outside of the outer cover or the moveable sheave I doubt they would work.

Hardness of stock rollers and the bronze rollers you are thinking of using are night and day different. Bronze rollers wouldn't last a 100 miles of normal riding.

Not looking to replace the roller in bronze, only the bushing
