FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Mel - that's great news! Hope it continues to go well for you, the new drums button-up perfectly and require minimal to no truing.

Also hope you are able to return the stud removal tool and save the $$$'s!

Steve and others. Well today it all happened. I took the old drums with the outside mounted hubs to a local machine shop. We took one drum and using an endmill in a milling machine machined off the stud heads inside the drum. The studs then pressed out very easily. there was a distinct swedge area where the stud was pressed to the hub. As I mentioned earlier the swedge was flush with the hub surface. Therefore pressing out from the inside seems to be the best approach. After removing the 5 studs it took a slight press to press the hub and drum apart. What comes next is to attach the old hub to the new drums and swedge the stud. I will; report on this when we do it.

Thanks Tom - having never used this particular tool before this is good info to have. Have used similar tools that amounted to hollow reamers to clear swedged bolt shafts internal to the holes only (without increasing the hole size) on other more modern/later applications. Thanks for sharing.

Steve, I see no need to remove the swedged area id the heads are ground off and pressed out from the inside.

My answer was to clarify the use of the tool. The amount removed from the hub should not make any difference to the strength of the hub.

Either procedure will work.

Mel - let us know how you make out. Will be good info for all.

TomO & Mel - thanks for the insight and (for me anyway) education on the differing lug sizes as well as the tool application. Hopefully in the end you will be able to return the tool Mel and save the $'s.

Steve, Thank you for your concern. I will start by removing head of stud inside the drum and pressing from the inside with full backing on the outside.
Then I will decide how to proceed but most likely will continue to work from the inside of the drum. Thanks again Steve. Regards, Mel

Tom--I realize there are 2 diameters. The .56 was used with hubs that mounted on the inside of the drum. The .62 was used with hubs that mounted on the outside of the drum. I'm not in my shop now but I believe the od of the cutter is .62 the same as the stud.
