Too many of these posts to weed through. Hi, David Ron N. pointed out that nickel silver (German silver) is 60% copper. So using them would not keep the bushings from contacting copper. What I still don't understand is why brass center pins have been replaced with nickel silver in the first place, and what merits they might have.
