Re: Need .874 reamer
I'm with Rod. A brake hone is absolutely the best way to go for the small amount you are removing. Why buy an expensive reamer?

Re: Front Motor Mounts
That large hole is for a special brass bushing. Look it up online with one of the parts suppliers.

Re: 1930 Front Bumpers.
Definitely use a cheap shop press for straightening because you can compensate
for any springback.

Re: scam: true/false?
It's fun just keeping these scammers on the hook for a while. It's kept me amused

Re: Rumble seat conversion???
Really only good for parades. You don't want people in a rumble while on the highway.
You're probably safer in a pepsi can.

I know what your problem is, it's getting it squeezed onto the ball after
you've inserted the spring and cup. I used a rivet and the threaded cap to

Re: Tight engine problem
Could it need a line bore? If all bearings are not aligned it could be binding. If this

Re: Tap Size For Zerks
Just use a small socket that fits the zerk collar and tap them in.
They don't have to be in that tight either, just snug.

Re: Painting inside of wheel wells
There is a product called POR-15. You spray it over rust (not dirt and oil).
The more grit the surface has, the better it sticks. It's not too
expensive and it's tough as glass.
