My mandrel came from Penkitsuk and the bushes went onto the mandrel no problem. However, I had a small problem with the bushes for the cap end. I had to hold one in the Chuck and then touch the part that goes into the brass tube to try make it a shade smaller as I couldn't get them to slip into the brass tube without sticking part way in. I got them to go in though so it's all good.
