King Pin Reamer Needed

Brian

Sounds like you have one on the way
It probably won't put them exactly where they need to be but may be close
Some have recommended reaming like on a sunnen pin hone
I highly recommend this... You may want to contact some other model a or flathead v8 guys in your area . Usually someone is the machinest go to guy .

I have one and it is invaluable and necessary for getting a perfect fit
Just thought I'd throw out the fact if searching out to any old ford clubs in your area ... Heck even Chevy guys ! Did I really say that!

admire your 'can do' spirit .. for me half the fun of the journey ... and god knows plenty of folks have "paid it forward" to me!:D

happy to loan my original reamer. how time sensitive is it? VA to CA would take some time and xmas shipping could be a nightmare. wanna wait till new year so they can loose it at their normal pace? :eek:

Hello Charles,
Brian and me both were able to use your reamer to Properly Ream our King Pin Bushings the Right way. THANKS!!! I have a 1928 Roadster Pickup that had an Inch of play at the top of the tire when moving it in and out while off the ground. I've never seen King Pin Bushing this loose before, ever!
I really appreciate you loaning your Reamer out to Help two Californians fix their Model A's the Right way.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
 
package with bushing reamer arrived safely in today's mail. glad you guys were able to find it useful. wish i could get 'frequent flyer' miles for its cross country trip (VA-CA-VA):) best wishes for your restorations!
 
Hope there was Tim Hortons or Starbucks card attached to it when it returned. You are a kind and generous man Charles and should be commended ! ( lol ). Wayne
 
And we thank you. It was fun to borrow a tool from clear across the country. I even had to look up where Richmond VA, was since I hadn't paid much attention in History.
Now the car is wobble-free and I'm back to trying to get my carb to work properly. Always something with there cars.
Still like to see pics of your PU.
