Assembling the driveshaft after a rebuild, I found the flange of the front bushing just a hair too thick. I could turn the ujoint after the pin was installed but I felt resistance. So I used yellow Timesaver between the ujoint and flange and turned it for a few minutes. After cleaning and reinstalling everthing, it turned free with no noticeable play.
I've used Timesaver on rod and main bearings, cam bearings, transmission bearing and maybe more. This was the first time I've used it on a driveshaft bushing. Its simply a great item to have in the shop.
I love the stuff and the name says it all. They do make a green that is for hard metals but the yellow is all I have used. I wouldn't be without it.
I've heard about Timesaver on this forum, but really never knew what it was. Where do you get this stuff?
... And I thought you were going to tell us you mixed it with peppermint oil and used it for toothpaste.
Richard Payne, 460Podlin dr, franklin park IL 60131. #630 595 0350. This worked 5 years ago, super nice guy. They have a sample box of 4 different grits in the yellow, was 30 bucks then. Had the product in hand before he had time to get the check. Headquarter I think in Cal. Been around sincs about 19 19 I think. Have fun, KB
Lang's has the yellow Timesaver for $9.95, see http://www.modeltford.com/item/TIMESAV-Y.aspx
Yellow is great stuff for lapping bearings and brass valves, probably little if any need for the other grits on a Model T.

Who me?
No Richard. Refer to the original thread title.
I thought this thread was going to have a "new" use for Timesaver.

Sorry about that.
