As I'm a firm believer of good Karma, and helping a fellow Austin Healey 3000 owner last month in locating him and giving him a harmonic balancer for his sons car, I now too require someones good nature. I'm in the process of rebuilding my front suspension/steering on my 1963 Austin Healey 3000 BJ7 and have replaced my Kingpin bushings, but looks like now I need a special reamer too cut them to make them fit with the remaining parts....
Does anyone have this reamer, which they would like to lend too me for a short period of time ???
Waiting on all...........your replies :encouragement:
 
Failing to obtain that special adjustabl ereamer you can take the parts to a machine shop and have them fitted.
 
And a better job, too. I have several varnished wood boxes of adjustable reamers...don't use them as the finish is never good.
Bushings just didn't last as long.

Usually they can use something like a con rod pin hone, set them up for thumb fit to your bushings.
