B Randall, thanks for your reply.
B B To clarify, with the 1/8"+ gap at the trunnion and the arms, as soon as I
try to lessen the gap, the trunnion binds up tight. I've reamed the bushings
to a close fit and they move freely until I try to tighten the gap. I've
opened up the diameter of bushes on one side, to what I feel is too sloppy, to
decrease the binding and I feel that this is also not correct because the
trunnion pin is now riding on a small portion of the bushing surface because
the pin is cocked in the bushing a bit. I think that I can make this work, but
it doesn't seem right. I have a factory service manual that describes to
trunnion set up and I have a good understanding of the process. This is
however my first attempt at setting up a TR and I'm wondering if this is a
typical sort of problem one might have. I'd really like to get it right and
not too tight.B 


B B Thanks again for the reply,
