I do not have a need for one, but I was going to make a joke about the cost of this tool in the newest catalog thinking it had to be a typo. I checked the online price and WHAT ? $999.99 ?????!!!!

Doubt they will sell many. I hand scraped a set rather than have them reamed. Common adjustable reamers can do some of the work but not the alignment.

That's why Peter C will do an in/Out turnkey service, set washer clearances and return them to you a few days later for a very reasonable price. Call him.

I sold my reamer for $125 and I thought I charged too much! You can also make a reamer from an old kingpin if you have the tools.

If you look closely at the picture on the Moss website engraved on the tool is where Moss sources it from. You can get the tool direct from the UK and save yourself about 550 bucks.

Thank you for the information. I’m actually looking for one for an early (74) MGB ( rubber bumper). But I appreciate the help.

Just came across this page and it may have what you are looking for at a little over $300. Check it out...


Both MOSS Motors and The Little British Car Company have that reamer listed under part #386-370 at $399 and $344 respectively.

BTW, English Parts site appears to be a MOSS reseller. I know The Little British Car Company is a MOSS reseller as I've bought and picked up many LBC parts from them in Farmington, MI.
