Bill,

Where I used to work we often fabricated extensions to small brushes like t=
hat by TIG welding an extension to the end. Sometimes the extension was sim=
ply fused to the end of the brush's shaft with no rod used. Could you braze=
 or silver solder an extension on?

     So I am rebuilding a Standard Vanguard engine for a 1953 Morgan Plus 4=
. The connecting rods have been laying on a shed floor for decades. They cl=
eaned up nicely, but the oiling hole through the connecting rod to the smal=
l end bushings were all rusted solid. I made a tool out of a piece of 1/8 b=
rass welding rod. I pounded the end flat, like a screwdriver, and pounded i=
t in while turning with a small Vise-grips. It got the hole opened and rust=
 poured out. The hole is about 0.180" diameter. I've been trying to find a =
long 3/16ths tube brush (like a pipe cleaner) to clean them out better, but=
 no one makes one long enough. The brush needs to be about 5" long and the =
longest that McMaster Carr has is 3". I could pull the small end bushings o=
ut and go at it from both ends, but the bushings in there fit the wrist pin=
s perfectly and I would rather not mess them up if I can help it.

     I have been considering buying a 12" long 3/16ths (.188") drill bit an=
d running that through. It might open up the hole a little bit, which might=
 not be a bad thing.

     Has anybody else been here? How did you get by this?

     TIA,



     Bill Brewer
