to you that you catched on this, as it is the usual method for =
production
repining. So the long center pins are available in the US ? I like the =
fact they
burnish the cloth,it is faster than using a burnished separately. Many =
other
advantages, as you state. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=009531408-22012004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =

you using a "pinning plank" to be at ease and pull the pin straight also =

glued bushing flange are thickest than many old parts, but they =
sell also
5 or 6 thickness of bushing cloth in strips, that you have to glue =
yourself (and
graphite , they recommend !) pure wool is considered the good choice =
(while I
never seen "Wool mark" mark on cloth !.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=009531408-22012004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff =
size=2>Have
just an idea about the graphite on the bushing cloth : its presence as =
an
hygroscopic material, allow possibly the flange cloth to react more with =
humidity , then more thickness is obtained while the hole enlarges =
because of
more humidity ? Let's stay positive !</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>> List,<BR>> I took on one of those =

while removing the old pins. I've never re-bushed<BR>> flanges =
before, so
out with the Reblitz and Schaff catalog. Got my supplies,<BR>> and
following Reblitz's directions, I could not get the cloth to meet in
the<BR>> hole. Once, twice, three, four or more times I could not =
get this
bushing<BR>> cloth to lay in the hole gapless. So I got to =
measuring and
calculating and<BR>> here's what I came up with.<BR>> Flange =
Bushing
drill = 7/64ths diameter. This calculates out to a hole that<BR>> =
would be
11/32nds in circumference.<BR>> Flange Bushing cloth advertised as
17/64th's. That's 5/64th's less than<BR>> needed already. The =
actual cloth
I got out of a dozen strips was 8 strips of<BR>> 7/32nds and 4 =
strips was
1/4 inch wide.<BR>> Now, am I missing something here? Am I using =
the wrong
size drill to ream<BR>> the old bushings out? Is there a suitable
alternative to "flange bushing<BR>> cloth", other than buying a =
whole yard
of it and cutting myself. It would<BR>> take me forever to use a =
yard of
the stuff, not to mention the price it<BR>> fairly steep just to =
have some
on hand when the need arises.<BR>> Thanks for your help.<BR>> =
