I've got the front end of my '68 Midget torn apart, cleaned up and ready
to rebuild the front suspension. I've read several threads about
reaming the swivel arms once (I believe) the bushings are pressed in.
I've bought the major suspension rebuild kit from VB and I,m ready to
find a shop to press in these bushings and ream the swival arm.
My question is: How do I know that the machine shop has the proper
reamer? I've looked in my manuals and have not seen any specifications
on this. Will the machine shop know what I'm talking about and what
reamer to use or do I have to make sure they have a special reamer made
only for my Midget? (I think that is more than one question)
Also, if they do have the right reamer, how much should I expect to pay
for this job? (another question)
I'd like to get my Midget back on the road as soon as possible. My wife
is complaining that it has been on jackstands in the garage too long.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
