King pin tool

[pedro]

Picked this up at a garage sale years ago, was told it was a king pin tool, anybody seen one before, i presume it goes in a lathe and is for reboring for bigger pins or sleeves/bushes

[pedro]

It would help if i remembered to include the pics .

Pedro looks like a hand reamer to size the bushes for the king pins ......FC427........

Pedro,

This looks to be a Warren and Brown Kingpin bush reaming tool. There should be a W&B on the reamer and underneath there should be a number which is the part number for the reamer.

The king pin bushes are reamed to suit the king pin once the bushes are installed. A lot of bushes are now pre reamed and don't require any reaming, and those that do anly require a light pass over just to clean up any burrs that may be present.

Thanks guys sounds logical, i haven't been able to find any reference to it in any of my books and there are no markings of any kind on the tool or the box, even if the bushes are pre reamed wouldn't they need line boring/reaming ( as in cam bearings) to make sure everything was straight.
