Bill,
The downside to not using the burnishing tool is that
as it is being retracted, as well as burnishing, it
also slightly expands the bushing to make it fit the
block. Without burnishing, the bushing could be
tighter on the shaft and too loose in the block,
letting it turn and wear the block.
It may be a while before I can even try to find my
burnishing tool. I am a wheat farmer and harvest
starts in a few days and I don't have my combine
ready, so my car hobby will be on the back burner till
after harvest. Check with me in about a month if you
haven't found one by then.

Subject: Re: Flanged bushing burnishing tool
The actual (omly) purpose of the burnishing is to lock the bushing into
the
block. Setting the clearance is secondary.

Then, retention being the primary objective and that the shaft fits the
hole, for those without the special tool, why not super clean the block
and
bushing and set the bushing in LocTite (Permatex) sleeve retainer?
Question
only.

Subject: 1956 Lower rear quarter patch panels
Hi all you '56 aficionados,
Does anyone know if there is a source for a patch panel for the lower rear
quarters on a '56 ? Specifically the area in front of the rear wheel
(left)
between the door and wheel well but a complete lower would be OK. Of
course if
you have an NOS panel in your stock, that would be great!!! (Super
great!)
Thank you,
John

Subject: Trunk panel replacement
Hi all,
Need to start looking for a good trunk replacement panel for my 61. It
seems like every 61 i come across has a rusty trunk (along with the
gutter!). Wanted to know everyones thoughts on what is the best
alternative? I remember someone saying that a 63 trunk panel works but
needs some massaging! Does anyone know the difference and what need to
be done to make it work? I have never seen one in person.
Any creative ideas or direction would be appreciated.
300'ly
Dan D.

Subject: Re: Flanged bushing retention
Hi Warren;
Here's a reply George Riehl sent to me, which I'll share with all:
Fine to put my comments on the server. Can't really see spending $75.00
for
a tool used once by the average person.
Having watched the continuing discussion about the bushing, this is what I
have to say....in 45 some years I have never reamed the bushing. Just
knock
the old one out, install the new bronze one with a peice of pipe. Never
had
one turn in the block nor was ever too tight on the dist. drive shaft.
Have
just finished a 383 and a 318 that way. Plus umteen other engines. The
local
machine shop here also has never reamed that bushing on any engine they
rebuild or used a "special" tool to install it. They use exactly the same
peice of pipe that I do. Another shop puts a large washer on a 2" long
bolt
of the proper shaft size, puts the bolt assembly into the bushing and
drives
the bushing in with a long punch. Works every time.
By the way, never use the aluminum bushing, they are junk, just like the
pot metal dist., generally available from the Chrysler dealer.
George
Hope this helps, doing it "by the book" is usually the desired way, but us
old "flatraters" know that the practical ways work fine.
