Thread: Vintage style Thrust/Bearing Internal Washers

One question Glen- How do you keep the internal hole the same size (i.e. not let the brass expand into the hole as well as out around the edges- that brass needs to go somewhere!)? If there's no way, do you just re-drill the center?

The funny thing was it just didn't happen, I was prepared to re-drill, I didn't do anything but smack them a few times and the hole didn't deform at all...Soooooo either I am a lucky SOB or it just works that way.... I made 8 of them and not a problem, wierd huh????
