2dogs...
Just FYI..When I re-did my stuffing box (also replaced the cutlass bearing, and the shaft) I was only able to get 2 rings of the graphite packing into my new stuffing box, and I have it set pretty much to be dripless, even though they recommend 3. I have had zero issues with only two. At the beginning of the season I grab the bronze to make sure it is not too hot.
edit - NICE! I missed the posts on page 2...let's hope you are good to go..again..if you can hold onto the bronze nut, it is cool enough I think.
