Amazing wear

Here we can see that the pivot has worn through an old bushing and into the clock plate. A pivot is the part of a clock gear that passes through the front or back plate. A new bushing did the trick. If you are wondering how I made up for the wear in the plate I simply put the right size bushing in a larger bushing. Then I used the correct cutter for the bigger bushing. Tapped bigger bushing in new larger hole.
