This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello Isaac, Yes, the long center pins are available in the US. Not only do they = burnish, but you can file one end to a long sharp point and you have a = perfectly sized reamer also. A pinning plank? No, I don't use any such thing. What is that? Picture? I did not know Renner sold "5 or 6 thickness of bushing cloth in strips, = that you have to glue yourself". That sounds like a winner - next time I = order, I will need to ask about those. Thanks. I just don't do much rebushing work, so I really haven't noticed any = drawbacks with the graphite that is reported to be in their cloth. I = hear so much negative about it, I would just as soon use cloth without = the graphite.

Let's stay positive ! Best Regards.
