SILENTBLOC BUSHING REPLACEMENT: June 2006
http://silentblocbushings.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 10, 2006. It's easier than you think. Silentbloc bushings are fitted to the chassis and springs of the '33 and '34 Sports and Le Mans Singers. There are four in the chassis and eight in the springs. Breakdown is generally attributable to deterioration of the rubber between the inner and outer casings of the bushing. You may find the rubber is missing entirely - not a good sign. Pressure should only be applied to the outer case of the bushing when pressing in to the casting. Never apply...

http://singersprings.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
NINE SPORTS AND LE MANS SPRINGS. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Refurbishing the '33/'34 Sports and Le Mans Springs. It’s amazing how involved even something as simple as restoring leaf springs on your Singer Nine can be, but let’s start with the obvious (starting with taking a few digital shots). Next prime each leaf with a good commercial rust proofing primer (not tremclad) and top coat with a compatible enamel. Let the topcoat cure for a week or so before any further work. Proceed with reassembly. I ...
