After 6 plus years these flexane. Held up.

Put NOS. Back on left side. Right side still have the bushings I made with flexane.
on right side


Not sure if I over tighten. Right side is torqued to 115. I think.

These I just put on. Are not torqued.


The way I removed them . 3 jacks.

One for axle. Floor jack

One for torque arm. Floor jack

One for under shock mount. Bottle jack.. Didn't remove shock. Would be easier with it off the shock mount.

And hammer to smack down U bolt.

The frame on jack stands.

The smooth on. White. Crumbled when I tighten them. So put on the NOS bushings I have

Till I make more flexane bushings.

That model train museum is incredible. Been there many times growing up and still enjoy it now. I'm a bit of a train nut myself.

Car is looking nice!

Auto parts place going out. Since 1946.

The original property was on the way off highway 8. So part of it was sold to Caltrans .

Business sets on old highway 80.
Which is now east main street.

But picked me up a key machine.

Which I wanted for long time.





Chrysler square drive looks promisingly.. Or the imports.
Also some parts books.





One for window motors. ..
Dormans book.

U joint book.

Old electric parts for cars book..

And sand paper for my ammmco brake arc machine.



742.252. 742.253 might be better.

742.250.251. ... 251 is on drivers side now. And works great. It might be 250.

Rik, Here is the inside of a gauge. The heater makes the bimetal strip bend proportional to how hot it gets. There is a small attachment on the needle at the end of the bimetal and the bending motion pivots the needle across the face of the gauge.
