Tightening a knock off

[Bill M.]

What have you guys been using to tighten your KO wheels? Original or Re-production. I started using a 8# dead blow hammer 10 years ago rather than the lead hammer.

Back in the dark ages, when I was Editor, there was an article in The Restorer on this subject. Sometime between 1995 and 2002. There is a hammer with replaceable face that is very heavy that the author used, but changing computers has lost all details to me.

Terry now I will go nuts searching for that article. I have all the copies.

A searchable online article repository would help with that.

I made a slide show for our chapter about this.

"PHP Max Post Size has been exceeded" (for attachment here). So, write midvette@mac.com for a copy.
It is a .PPT file dated 2025 01 31...

Per the Restorer searchable USB drive put together by Tom Sutcliffe, it's Volume 28 - Number One - Summer 2001 pages 44 & 45.
That Restorer searchable USB drive is available in the NCRS store...

Don't wanna derail this thread...but I looked at that USB of Restorer articles...I presume it starts with the first issue but does anyone know how current it goes to? year end 2024?

USB contains Volume 1 thru Volume 51 #3. Very nice search. Contains ALL PAGES of Restorer.

So... Volume 51 #4 Spring 2025 is not included.

FWIW: just download those later Restorers as pdf.
