72 Trailing Arm Rebuild

[Bill B.]

Looking for source (Waco-Temple-Austin) for putting our 72 trailing arms together. We purchased all the parts but just need someone to install bushings and setup the bearings--everything is cleaned and painted already. Any referrals?

Thanks Gary--will call him. By the way, don't remember if I let you know I found some shallow retainers for the 57 banjo? I got them from Mary Jo and will make them work. Unfortunately, there are two shallow retainers and these are not the correct ones. They are too shallow. Rather than complain, I decided to cut a backup plate which will make them fit properly and safely. I satisfied. Hope your drinking arm is working!

Re: 72 Trailing Arm Rebuild

Thanks Mike. I did check with Bair's while back and I know they ship boxes and I have seen the video of their process. No doubt in my mind that they are experts. But, I already have all new parts and everything cleaned and painted. I would do the build myself but I didn't want to spend all the money for special tools for hopefully a one-time effort. Think that makes me cheap?
