Re: King Pin differences
Yes bbrocksr I do know of the pilot on the k/p bushing reamer, but that wasn't why I mentioned a fixture. In a manufacturing situation most assuredly an operator loaded a fixture and the reamer sized both holes, using a reamer with no pilot. The fixture would be used to insure the alignment, making a pilot unnecessary and the reamer would be long enough to do the bushings together. Having worked for GM BITD I know that everything was "time studied" and to the General even fractions of a second counted. My point is that a proper reamed hole done under power will be superior to anything one can do on the bench. And pin honing, done by a competent operator, will be even better in my estimation.
