Buy a cheap socket and hit it on bench grinder or belt sander. You'll be done in less than the time it took to start this thread.

Not really going to fit. Thats fine, it will be portable with cold saw, belt sander and a couple bench grinders.

Bush the shaft. The tops can warp too. I give them a ride on the stationary belt sander

Fiberglass and a very large belt sander to get it flat . Or do like I did . I was so disgusted I drove it over with the skid loader.

Morning! Another hot one coming up. Car shows today, but im staying home,finish the mess i started yesterday. I bough one of those tool benches, for my grinders, belt sander and wire wheel. Now i need to fit it in to the shop.

Yup, and a mini belt sander. Or scuff with scotchbrite.

I thought atlas was a British company.

I believe Atlas was in Kalamazoo Mich. I am restoring an Atlas belt/disc sander from the 50's, all cast iron and in great shape. I took the tag off that was rivited on before I sandblasted & powdercoated everything green hammertone. Atlas Press was on the tag.

Nice, I know my bottom drawer is full on mine, wish more than 1 was a deep drawer in my roll around

just.use.a.grinder. you don't even need to take the caliper off. buzz it a little, test fit. buzz it some more, test fit. buzz it again, voila it fits! next!

...the teacher got me a job as an entry level machinist as $6.50/hr. Ran lathes, Bridgeports, bandsaw, and Many hours on the burr bench and belt sander! Loved that job and worked full time in the summer. Was there 3 years until the placed closed and I got let go. They made wheelchair lifts...

Picking up tools and trying to restart with a clean slate. A task in itself. Went and grabbed my benchtop belt sander. I almost regret it. Its heavy and carrying any long distance pretty much does me in. I hate this crap.

Gonna do some small depth cuts on the area that I know was rubbing. Will do both calipers just in case. I think my son's shop has a belt sander to smooth it down.

“Clipped” washers are a thing. I bought some a few weeks back for a task on a race car where there was not enough clearance on the edge of washer when it was fully round. Sometimes we take them to the belt sander and flatten an edge…

Break out the router, then finish with the belt sander..... Wait, wrong thread...

I had a a Challenger bblk, I had to take a belt sander to the head flange to get it to fold under, kinda like this one. That header was fkd, but I got it to fit. The old days were a nightmare, no 2 headers were the same, hand welded, flange was like a mountain range, weld/ file every set. At...

...you have to. Centered left to right is not super critical. As long as the spring or pushrod doesn’t hit. If you do grind the spacer on a belt sander remember to rotate it 1/4 turn in your hand and touch it to the belt, repeat. It will help keep the sides paralleish. If you don’t, it is very...

yeah we used to get like the super cheap $69 hedmans and **** from local stores and they were a battle Or blackjack...

I was thinking a friend with a mill, but yeah, that will work if your pretty slick, or find that guy with the Ban saw :p

How about a "belt sander...?" :)

Good leather gloves, Tongs, belt sander, and a "can do " attitude.

Taught the wife how to use my Porter Cable belt sander, she was out in the shop half the day redoing those drawer fronts and cabinet door for the coffee station. Today I've got to head to HD and get some finishing putty/wood putty and she should be painting. All that's left after that for me...

Or , u could use a bandsaw !!!!!!!!! LOL

I use a band saw. The OP has a ban saw. You can try a belt sander if you wish. I would have mine machined on a lathe or a mill. Or better yet, just buy the right pistons to start with. I have a couple of things that were done on my 273 that were made to work but I would change if I had to do it...

Or even a HF stationary belt sander. It may sound rough but it works, lol! If I could swing that stroker kit, though, I would get all over that business. A 390 inch 318 stroker is amazing in its own right, but the 416 incher is a whole ‘nother animal.

The belt sander is a good idea!

Beats the hell out of a file.:thumbsup:

Buy the el cheapo aspen ones on rock auto and grind them on a belt sander or put them in a vice and cut them with a Dremel. Or just round out the bracket. Or just buy a 5th ave for $500 (damn things are everywhere), return the brake kit, and rob the spindles and brakes off the 5th ave, sell...

...posted that chart earlier, sorry . I had a similar situation on a Chally bblk, couldn't get the motor over any farther, so took a belt sander to the header flange to tuck the bottom in away from the T-bar, then draw filed till fair.(that header was fkd) I also use a ratchet strap around the...
