Trying to find a reamer so I can put my front end back together. Anyone know we’re to get one Thanks. The old site had so much participation, I don’t see site site making it. Not user friendly , Loved the old one. Thanks for any help

Kevin,

 

I watched ebay and found one for the 29 and 31. If 32 is the same I can check the size and let you know.

  • @david-dunton Thanks really love the other board and participation. Hope this site will catch on. Instructions says .005 bigger then pin. Pin is .732 . So I’ve been looking for a .737 pilot reamer about 10 inches long.

If you have a spring and axle shop in your area they will have everything you need and could have it done for you in no time. Yes, it'll be a bit more money but much quicker and possibly better since that's what they do for a living.

Here is a picture and it looks like 29-33 and .736. Tiny has a good suggestion but I could not find anyone willing to do it so I did it myself.

Even after reaming you may have to lightly hone the bushes to do the final finish. I use adjustable reamers and only go to a very tight pin fit then hone for the final fit, never used a exact size reamer to compare the fit.
