Folks-

    WRT taper-fit bushings, keep in mind that there are three major 
types used here in the USA:

1) Taper-Lock
2) Taper-Bushing
3) QD

    These are all different semi-proprietary designs with varying 
degrees of interchangeability. Best to stick to one brand for all 
components involved to make sure everything functions properly. 
Browning, Morse, and Dodge are three major brands that spring to 
mind, although other companies make components to the same standards.
    In my experience, there's not much functional difference between 
brands or types. The different designs are available in different 
sizes, even for the same bore size. There's also some variation in 
diameter and axial length. Taper-Bushings are the most compact, but 
are potentially the weakest and the most difficult to disassemble if 
components are corroded or rusted together. If you need keys to mate 
to the shaft or rotor, make sure you order components designed 
accordingly. You should also consider any space requirements for 
assembly/disassembly/inspection.
