Description

The full-length sibling

This pack is essentially the twin of 5003119, only with full bushings in place of half ones. A bushing is a small cylinder that slides onto an axle, fixing a spacing or holding the axle in a frame. The bag has 100 of them, all identical and all in light bluish grey, so anyone who knows the other pack can tell at once what to expect. There is no instruction booklet, since nothing is being built from it.

Stock for the workbench

Almost every Technic drivetrain needs bushings, yet regular sets usually include only a handful. A bag of 100 changes that and leaves room for longer shafts, several axles or whole rows of wheels. Because there is just one type of part, there is nothing to sort: open the bag, tip it into the right compartment and carry on. That saves time on projects where you are plugging many pieces together anyway. Accordingly, the parts list here has a single line.

Alongside what you already own

Light bluish grey suits most Technic models, so no bushing looks out of place in the finished build. You can use them anywhere without worrying about clashing colours. To find out what your current collection and this top-up could make together, try the “What can I build?” tool on this page. If you keep your collection on Bricoria, you can add the pack as spare stock and later see how many bushings you have available in total.

Typical places in a model

You will find bushings between a gear and the frame, beside wheels on an axle and at the ends of shafts that should turn freely. There they stop parts from wandering sideways or dragging against each other. People planning a gearbox often fit them last, once the spacing is settled. A large supply makes that fine-tuning much more comfortable, because you never have to hunt for the last remaining piece.

FAQ

How do these differ from the half bushings?
A full bushing is twice as long, so it spaces things further apart on an axle. Both packs hold 100 pieces in light bluish grey.
Is there anything to assemble?
No, the set is a bag of loose parts and has no building instructions.
How many different parts are included?
Exactly one type, 100 times over. There are no minifigures.
