If it keeps = breaking when you pull it through or it's too easy to pull, these are = your indicators. Trim the cloth to a long point and I use my needle nose = pliers to grab the cloth the roll them against the flange to pull very = evenly. Only a small amount comes through with each roll of the pliers. = Feed it through the other side of the flange and keep pulling through = until you have enough cloth to grab it with your hand and pull it all = the way to almost the end. A SMALL dab of glue and pull the cloth on in = cut it off long and jam a #20 pin in and let dry. Use a tack like the = ones used to hang the damp chaser rod, it's .050" or a #20 and the sharp = tip makes it easy to slide in. When the glue dries, trim the excess felt = off and assemble the flange with the right pin and size the bushing to = the pin with 30% water/ alcohol. When it dries it's the right fit. = Don't force dry it.=20 If you need them to work now. Ream a size smaller than the pin you = are using, put the pin in and heat the tip with a lighter, 7 count.
