Oh yes, bushings start in the next day or so. I'm doing a pretty complete job on this one. dp David M.

Don't forget the Bushmaster. By re-bushing, it will allow you more leeway in your pin replacement.

Can you use the new WNG aluminum pins with their nylon bushings? according to their instructions, the FR holes are first reamed out to .183" and then the bushings are inserted and reamed out with a 1/8" bit to fit the lower FR pin diameter, which is .128". - Mark Porritt, David wrote: I'm rebuilding a Baldwin R and on removing the corroded and pitted key pins, I discovered that the base of the guide rail pins are 0.177". The top (swaged) part is a standard 0.146" but the part that is driven in the key frame is oversized. Of course no one has replacement pins like this so I'm going to have to make some modifications. Everything that I've thought of so far has looked like a major operation, and will leave lots of opportunity for errors. Has anyone run into this before? What did you do? dave _________________________ David M.
