just for info, thrust washers are usually made out of slightly softer materials (often copper/bronze) with a steel backing. the softer material reduces friction when metal to metal contact is made and prevents wear, and particularly galling, of the gear metal.

if you were really keen you could look into thrust bearings, but they are much thicker (5-10mm), but would reduce friction quite a lot.

CBC usually supply bearings, but my local ones do not modify or make custom ones.

what happens to the 'normal' bearing you speak of? can it be made with a larger surface area to reduce wear rate and increase load capacity?

Cya, Stewart
