Hi All, I'm trying to install new rubber bushings (from Moss) in the
upper trunnions of a friend's 1959 BN6. They apparently seat properly
in the trunnions. I mean, the top "flange" underside is flush against
the trunnion face. The problem is that the tops of the rubbers are
waaaay too thick (over 3/16" total) for everything to go back between
the shock arms. I can't compress the rubbers because their metal
inserts are full length of the rubbers. I loosened the bolt thru the
arms but they won't spread enough to help. Is this normal?? Did the
original rubber bushes have such thick tops?? Are these bad parts?? Do
I need to reduce the rubber top thickness with a fine blade saw?? Are
other bushings available?? It seems like I've seen these bushings that
didn't have a flange...they stood just a bit proud of the trunnion face.
I know it could be very difficult to get the shock arms to relocate on
the cross-shaft, but what else can I do?? Please help...and HAPPY NEW
YEAR!!
Jack
