Bill - Looking for a Reamer

Post by **DJpowerHaus** » Wed May 30, 2007 6:22 pm

That topic was too tempting to not type.

I'm looking for a tapered reamer to open up the Starion's steering yolks to use a larger tie rod end. How do I know what type of reamer to get and where do I get it? My best guess is that it is a 7 degree standard taper but I could be wrong. Is there a "standard taper" used on Japanese cars?

mcmastercarr has some reamers listed but I dont even know how to look for what I want.

I bought a couple out of 'speedway catalog' in Nebraska they are hard to figure out what you need, because the depth of the hole makes the size of the hole different
7 degrees sounds right for a domestic car

PM me your adress, I made a video about the bellhousing I wanna send you
if you wanna buy steering and suspension stuff you get that from Coleman machine in Michigan
