Hello Kevin,
I hadn't considered greasing the LG01A bushes as they are I believe oil
impregnated bronze.
Regarding the LG08 fork ends. I quite agree why should they have to be
cut from the A/C06082? Anyway that is exactly what I did. If memory
serves me I did have to persuade them to go in.
Hope this helps.
