<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks John and Keith. I have that =
Renner tool
(also available from the Mother!) and use it to size my bushing cloth. I =
attended a repinning class given by Joel Rappaport a few years ago at =
one of the
conventions. He addressed the wonders of the long Renner center pin =
wires. I
have the handout and my notes, but nowhere in there does it say anything =
about
any clever way to use the long wires during the bushing cloth =
installation
process. I thought I remembered him daisy-chaining the whole bunch =
together in
one shot, but maybe not. Anyone use the long wires?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>First get your bushing cloth =
ripped to the
right width. 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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Georgia size=2>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. Work the flange, Burnishes it. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Got a question regarding =
rebushing action
centers - I have done only very little of this. Is it best to =
install the
cloth and then ream and pin, or is it a good thing to install the =
cloth
and insert a pin at the same time to size the bushing? Seems like =
I need
to stipulate a whole bunch more particulars, but that is the =

question.</FONT></DIV>
