Im building a snow blower. The auger flighting will be welded to a piece of 2 inch sched 40 pipe. The pipe will be bushed and shear pinned to a 1 1/4 solid shaft. Steel on steel will rust and lock the joint, making the shear pin useless. I have no brass or bronze at the time, would a piece of copper pipe work to isolate the two. ie press a copper sleeve into the bushing to let it rotate on the solid shaft if the shear pin breaks.
I don't think it would wear well if turning for long but this would be very intermitant when the shear pin breaks.
Yes I know Im being cheap and should buy a propper bronze bushing but 1 1/4 aren't available locally.
Thanks
Greg
