The reamers were long enough to ream both bushings at the same time. Actually the reamers had two cutters seperated by a solid shaft. The tools are rare, I have a couple of adjustable reamers with long pilots, with a taper cone for centering the pilot in the bore not being resized, I would suspect that is how a machine shop would perform the operation today, hope that helps | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You pretty much have to take them to a machine shop. Most of them will do it with a piton pin machine. I tell them to fit them a little snug though. They should not fall through but push through with your thumb. It seems the shops want to fit them a little loose.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
