I had mine done that way and they turned out really nice. If you are not doing a complete tear down, you may want to buy a pair of standard, and a pair of .001" under for fitting. With the inserts, you no longer use the shims. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 208 | Thanks, I am having mine machined. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 39 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 39 | I found a place that will machien rods as well as babbit them; their web site is www.egge.com | | |
