you shrink the bushings after you've put them in?"

Barabara,
I usually get all the flanges prepped then "gang" bush them. i.e. thread =
several on a strip of bushing cloth. Once the hide glue has set, just =
slice them apart. Another trick, that I personally haven't used, but is =
touted by the Euros, is to use the long center pin "rods" in the same =
process. If I am doing single bushings, I always insert a pin into the =
bushing for sizing. This seems to give me more consistancy. I should =
think shink/sizing would be a good idea. I don't envy your predicament! =
(if it were me, I'd give a HUGE Bitch in S&S direction.) Hmmm? I've got =
an A 3 coming up... I hope they've gotten their flanges better by then!
Best Regards,
