Thanks for the compliments Paul, OZ and Button.
It was a hard fought job, but I had previous experience of MG Midget and MGB kingpins. This was harder!
If I could find a local machinist I would be seriously tempted to have the stub axle line bored before fitting the new bushes.
I had this done when I installed the Devol Bushes into My +4-4Str. With Hard Chrome King Pins that I drilled grease galleys down to the stub axle reservoir (between the bushes) and an Alemite grease gun mounted to the steering shaft it has worked very well. Just a couple of twists of the Alemite Grease Gun and I am good to go. As I use Vesconite self lubricating bushes on the other two Morgans I use a home made reamer that looks pretty much like Yours. Vesconite cuts very easily with a Variable Reamer. My friend welded a pilot onto a Variable Reamer and made a cone shaped slider to center it. Cheap Variable Reamer, don't think I would use it on Bronze. But there is another Canadian that does use Bronze but has a Machinist line drill the stubaxle tube. He just takes the Bronze Bushing out of the box and uses Loctite to hold it in. He says it works quite well and easy to do.
I used to do his for My Friends but the Litigous US is no place to do such favors. I no long do this as I do not have Mechanics Liability Insurance.
