King pin reamer - anyone know of a UK source?

Post by Phil Parry »

I've found a king pin reamer in the US on the following website. Before I buy, do any of you lovely folk know of a UK supplier?

They're easy enough to get Phil. Buy an adjustable one - a decent one is about 25 quid off ebay.

A better way would be to machine the bushes, I personally think it makes for a better finish. It shouldn't cost much to do at a decent machine shop.
