The Saga of the shock absorber bushings

[Steve Rankin]

I did break my drill press, and then switched to the vise. I ended up making a modification to the moss kit in order to make it work. Trouble is, without reviewing the whole thing, I can't remember what I had to do. I do recall that I ruined a couple of the bushings tho. Steve Rankin Tc 6646
