    LCA Poly Bushing Failure - what to do now?

    Delrin requires a much tighter tolerance for alignment than you'll find on any OEM application. There's little give in the material and it's prone to failure if the tighter tolerances are ignored. Plus a harsher ride and a noticeable increase in vibration. Great for track use, terrible for the...

    Chefs corner

    Again, matter of convince and tiresome efforts in the kitchen. Japanese version of shrimp fried rice. A sweeter version from Chinese fried rice.

    Lower Control Arm Bushing Removal

    "The delrin bushings we're talking about here are part of a precision set sold by Bergman Autocraft. " Therein lies the purpose of concern. Precision. Not many are going to take this into consideration when changing from rubber OEM to a material that requires an exact tolerance. You, as a...

    Thanks, Bud. I was pretty worried there for awhile. With all the crap one hears out there, I wasn't really sure what chances for recovery there were.

    Lower Control Arm Bushing Removal

    Thank you for recognizing the concerns and for not taking offense to my offerings. Not here to argue, only to help. I await with curiosity for a report on how those bushings perform. During the build process for the chassis for my truck, I used a stress analysis program that enhances potential...

    Lower Control Arm Bushing Removal

    Delrin is pretty unforgiving, requiring precise alignment. Not many street applications will see this benifit unless certain machining steps are taken to ensure no binding occurs. I've seen delrin bushings broken in two. I doubt your're going to see this type of alignment in any B-body...

    What does it cost to heat your shop?

    Luckily I don't really worry too much about heating. There are days here where it will hit the low 70's in January, and I save my garage work until then. Cooling is a different matter.

    UFOs or UAPs are real

    I live smack dab in the middle of this age old debate. Roswell's economy depends partly on the tourism draw. Have I ever seen a UAP phenomenon I can't explain? Nope. But there is something there when our military changes it's story over one incident that occurred in 1947, three different times...

    Gathering spares, just in case....

    Good idea if you've got the space to store. I've racked up quite a number of different parts for a truck that is over 80 years old. They're gettin' harder and harder to find at decent prices.

    How do you pancake ?

    I can surely tell you your definition of "pancake" differs greatly than mine, but I won't delve into the specifics.....:lol: We call them flapjacks or hotcakes. Lots of butter and bonified real maple syrup. And they gotta be hot.

    Lower Control Arm Bushing Removal

    "Delrin" ? Don't think you're gonna like this. Not much give in hard nylon type materials. My 4-link has rubber bushings instead of heim joints for shock absorption properties, as are the bushings in both my upper and lower a-arms. You may find these bushings are going to cause some problems...
