<p>Yep, that can be tricky. I managed to do it once, but the
second time I couldn't make it go and David and his team bailed
me out (on short notice, to boot).<br>

<div dir="ltr">I second Dave Hubbard. Dave rebuilt the
lower a-arms for my Bugeye. He fit the kingpin with tight
spacers on both sides of the kingpin where there were
originally cork washers that were always gone by the time
you got around to greasing the pivot pin. This made a
solid internal space to keep the grease in place. He also
re-enforced the threaded tube for the pin and put grease
fittings on both ends for complete lubrication. He knows
his stuff!</div>

<div dir="ltr">Didn't mess with it as haven't rebuilt
one for 45 years. My Sprite gearboxes (a Smoothcase
with Ribcase internals, and a Ribcase) went to Dave
Hubbard North of LA, one of the best in the USA if
not the world and <u>inexpensive</u>. $650 USD for
the Ribcase rebuild and that included the core! My
original numbered Smoothcase with NOS Ribcase
internals was around $900 USD total complete!!!

<div>Dave only works for people he likes and that
come highly recommended, so don't ask.

<div>BN1 and a BN2 to Eric Grunden of Absolutely
British. Definitely NOT inexpensive but worth
every penny! $5K+ for each. Both are like new
with a lot of NOS parts!</div>

Plus, a lot of people on this list and various

just a selection of big hammers ;).<br>

There are a few gotchas, if you endeavor to

glad to fill you in on what I learned (the hard
ways ;)).<br>
