Okay Moggers
Fred gets tthe cigar ! ! pulled the axle apart again and NO BUTTONS. It
would appear that there should be one for each side and I have none on each
side, nor in the bag, floor bench or any place else. Tomorrow I'll go to
the local brass button store and pick up a couple.
My worry was that the guy who welded up the tubes for me failed to push
them into the housing far enough..
As for George and Wills concern that I had smashed up the Arctic Duchess,
no , her axle is in place and doing fine. I'm working on my 62 Drophead
Coupe (owned since 1984 ). I bought it from a local whose daughter ran
it into a telephone pole.
She hit the pole dead center but was not seriously hurt . I have the
bumper hanging on the garage wall. Its a perfect "U" shape The Grill
and cowl were pushed flat against the engine which was pushed back 8
inches.
I've rebuilt ( read built from scratch) a new body tub. I'm now attempting
to get a rolling chassis to put the tub on and hopefully this fall will
start work on the fenders .
Thanks for the advise and concern

They gotta be what they gotta be...
Mark the outside of the Inner) bearing race on the axle.
Remove the inner race. Insert the axles without the bearings 'till they
touch (there is a sliding button between them- sure it's not missing? sounds
like it is...).
Push 'em back & forth 'till they are about centered.
The outsside of the race (mark on the axle) needs to be proud of the (outer
) bearing housing by a few thou on each side. This will be taken up by the
shims on final assembly.
To be that far off- seems like the button is missing. I know lee Gaskins
went through the same scenerio on a rear end several years ago.
