In the process of servicing my Plus 4 Ive detected a small amount of play in the nearside king pin. So while the weathers still poor I'll have a go at replacing them. Lsat did this a good few years ago on my previous Plus 8 so I know the procedure (although I'll have to cadge a reamer from somewhere!). I want to make a drift for the bushes but don't know the external bush diameter, I assume the inside diameter of the bush is 1 inch but does annoying know the outside diameter?
thanks in advance

I had Cain at Wolf Performance supply Mulfab hard chrome kingpins, renew and ream bushes etc. Having pre-booked with him it was a while you wait process when I brought the stub axles over, but admit I only live 52 miles away. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/VbJpBdf.jpg)

Brill thanks. I’ll get the parts ordered from Wolf today but for those of us ‘Oop Norf’ a day trip isn’t feasible hence the DIY approach. Besides I enjoy the satisfaction of doing the job myself. Cheers Gary

The main body of the drift is 30mm apologies for the blurrrrrr....... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2025/02/21/Column-March-2025A.jpg) The top part of the drift (may have been Mulfab) is 25.19mm. This is so that it fits inside the bush. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2025/02/21/Column-March-2025.jpg) The base is very heavy and the stub axle rests in that for the bush extraction.

I don't usually lend my tools out but you are welcome to borrow my reamers.
I'm busy sorting through the 3 tons of vintage motorcyle cycle parts my late Dad accumulated at the moment so Morgan work is taking a bit of a back seat.
