mathematically you are correct. it is the closest "drill bit" size to the .571 spec to ream the bushings for the springs and perches. I don't recommend using a drill bit as a reamer.

reamer should be .571

Is a higher resolution scan of the drawings attached available? I'm trying to create radius templates for re-arching the front spring but those drawings are very hard to read! Thank You, George

My coil just died, but would like to retain the original appearance. Just ordered a Petronix replacement. Does anyone have any guidance on how to mount a new coil in an original can? How are you holding it in place? How are you cutting the original can? And what happened to the suppliers...

You're on a hill :-)

So sorry to hear. I've known John & Julie for over 50 years. We would work together for hours every weekend when he first started rebuilding engines and pouring his own babbit. "Loaned" him my KR Wilson fixtures to compliment the ones he was collecting. Going to Hershey together was an...

Be cautious of people selling NOS parts. Many "sellers" especially ebay, have no idea what they are selling, and will list reproduction and/or used parts as NOS. They also have little knowledge of year of manufacture variations in parts. Lots of knowledgeable people here so ask if in doubt.

Congrats - Looks like it just needs a little buffing!. Judging from the videos, this car has had it's interior replaced, and likely not original paint. Shocks are not original - they appear to be friction shocks. Don't hesitate to ask questions of this group. Lots of experience here.

Watch this Youtube video and you can fix it this way. I have done one of my axles years ago like this and have had no trouble with it. Be certain to only use new Grade 8 hardened nuts (avail from our vendors). Also be certain to file a nice radius in the axle as shown in the video. You can...
