We've put up another episode of our show about motorbike DIY. I needed
a new hardened steel spacer for my Cagiva's swingarm linkage so Trent
cut a Ducati one down using a Dremel attached to the toolpost of a
lathe.

A bit beyond my bodging boundary.

Fortunately, these items are obtainable for a 1996 YZ250. I'm hoping
to find a package has been delivered with all the bearings, bushes,

If you can, post the dimensions and part/bearings numbers on a forum
somewhere. Think of it as a time capsule for a poor sod in the future
who's looking for something that can be adapted to fit his bike.

Indeed. Somewhere I have FAQ sheets for SO Gilera thumpers with vital
data like bearing references.
