I found both .010” and .015” kits. So if you straight axle was worn you can ream the axle out to the size of the oversized king pin.
I did not find any kits that contained oversized bushing that were meant to fix worn steering knuckles. I know from fellow Stovebolt’s that the kits were offered years ago but they seem to have vanished off of the market.
If you found one of these bushing kits, please let me and our fellow bolters know where and the part numbers and we would be very appreciative.
