Grinding wheel bushing

[Jack Gaskins]

Looked through old posts but did not see an answer. I am looking for a source for a steel bushing to use inplace of the plastic inserts that come with the Norton grinding wheels. I need a 5/8 id x 1" od bushing. Anyone know where I can get some?

Thanks for the link guys. Guess I have to add an extra $20 to a set of wheels. Talk about expensive...... You would think Norton would just send you a metal bushing with the wheel since they could get them for pennies........
