John,
I hope that anti-seize compound is OK because that is what I used on my '69.
Mine were two piece and I also used a c-clamp. After about a half season of
driving, everything is still working good. The only critical thing to
remember is that the final round of nut tightening must be with the car on
the ground. If you do it in the air, then the bushings would be in a
stressed condition when the car is at rest.

> The old bushings are out of the trailing arms and everything is cleaned
up. Are there any tricks for installing the new bushings. The ones I got
are the uprated ones from Moss. I seem to remember an old posting about
heating the bushings in boiling water to make them softer before
installation. Also, what is the best lubricant to use when installing them?
Is an anti seize compound OK ? I will be doing this job in the garage with
a large c-clamp. I'm lookingforward to getting the body back down on the
frame as soon as a few more odds and ends are taken care of. Any info and
or hints will be greatly appreciated.
