Securing a Oillite bearing isn't easy if the hole isn't correct to

impregnated with oil. You may
Attached are two diagrams of generic leaf springs, made using multiple
layers of spring steel. If you replace the flat bars by a couple pieces
of piano wire (which is tempered spring steel) you can achieve the same
effect with readily available materials. The exact number and size of
wires

as for the bearing surface being impregnated with oil, ya, that's my big
hang-up. i was wondering about maybe just silicone, but not sure how well it
would bond to the bearing due to the oil.

That's what I use. Goes through muddy water and sheds dust better than sealed
