Gentlemen, the drive pins and bushings that I received from Marcotte were 1/4" to long and bored out for bolts, instead of tapped for cap screws and when I assembled the couplings it would not bolt up because the base of the drive pins held the drive and driven disc's 1/8" to far apart and the bolts were interfering with the bell housing.  So a trip to the machinist and another $100.00 shot and removing the material in the bell housing so the bolts and nuts have room to rotate, I hope to reinstall the redrive again. 
 
Can I put baby powder or silicon on the rubber bushings to help with the assembly into the driven disc, the pins are really snug and are going to need quite a bit of pressure to get the six of them into place.  The silicon would work the best, but would it have a negative effect on the rubber and the operation of the coupling.  Thankyou for any input.  JohnD definitely frustrated in the country.
