crankshaft pilot bushing

I measured the hole in the back of my 273 crank today and came up with something in the neighborhood of .895/.900-ish (hard to get the calipers in there and didn’t feel like breaking out the pin gauges)

I see on Brewer’s website that a new crank pilot bushing has an od of .940.

I was thinking of getting a new bushing and turning it down to the correct od for my crank. It would still end up being a minimum of .141 thick. That seems like it would be plenty thick enough for what it needs to…

Bell to block braces

The 4 speed trans used bell to block braces didn’t they?

Was test fitting my new O/D trans today and figured I’d try the automatic braces and they didn’t even come close.

Love these guys………. ONLY $8000!!!

Bell to trans bolts. Grade 5 or 8 ?

Went through the bolt pile tonight and came up with four 7/16X14 grade 5 bolts of the proper length to mate my bell to the O/D trans.

Is grade 5 ok or do I really need grade 8.

Thanks

Which blast media?

Hey all,

I use 60 grit aluminum oxide in my gunsmith/machine shop blast cabinet. Lately I have been using it on some front end parts and it just isn’t aggressive enough for rusty scaly surfaces.

What do you recommend? I won’t use any silica indoors and “black beauty” isn’t much good either for a system that recycles the media. It just breaks down too quick in my experience.

What do you like?

Thanks
