    I have a '59 restore underway.

    Today is steering day....

    I noticed to ball on the bellcrank is slightly scored...

    Is this bellcrank reuseable?

    Can they be re-rounded or smoothed out effectively?

    Do I just need to replace it?

    I would hit the sharp burrs with a file to get it fairly round then polish with fine abrasive cloth and re-use.
