Conversion bushings

[BGood]

These are a bit loose in the holes, they just don't bite. They worked great for the LP Ultra project, but on the Vintage G400, holes are a tad too big. Should I use glue ? I thought of brushing wood glue onto the hole walls, waiting for it to harden, then press the bushings in.

Do you have any rubber or tygon tubing that would fit over the bushing as a sleeve?

I thought of doing that with the original bushings before ordering those wider ones. There's now really not that much space to fill.

 

[BGood]

Just glued them in from the inside. Good to go.

Aluminum foil or drink can aluminum.

Aluminum foil or drink can aluminum.

Thought about it, but was afraid it would just bunch up as I press the bushings in. Plus, the holes weren't all exactly the same width.

Same observation as above.

Tuners are installed and everything is tidy. Just have to string her up.

I was thinking about that, bit I didn't know whether it would stay in place or rotate because it's, y'know, teflon.

I want to know how they get teflon to stick to the pan.

Duct Tape, of course.
