I found a real nice = rebushing procedure by Bill Spurlock on the RennerUSA web site: = http://www.rennerusa.com/PDF/flange_bushing.pdf I think I can combine the Rappaport and Spurlock techniques to come up = with what I likely saw in Joel's class. I suspect that after inserting = the cloth in flanges in a daisy-chain way, the flanges are cut apart and = then restrung on the long wire for the cloth to dry and size to the pin. Thanks for the input. Terry Farrell 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? Terry Farrell John M. Ross Flange Bush Cloth Calibration Tool - 1855=20 This handy tool sizes bushing cloth prior to installation. =20 I find this tool from Renner to be=20 a good help.=20 Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada 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.=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. Work = the flange, Burnishes it.=20 Keith Roberts 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 essential question. Terry Farrell ------=_NextPart_001_0063_01C51D60.492B2F40 An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
