Lots of them. If price is an object, I recommend Enco
http://www.use-enco.com
Proper hand reamers are expensive even from Enco, so I used a straight flute
"chucking" reamer instead. Didn't have a chuck that big first time I did
the job, so I clamped the reamer shank in my bench vise and carefully turned
the A-arm against it.
But, I thought the TR4A was different in this area and didn't have those
brass bushings to be reamed ? The Moss catalog shows it being like a TR6,
with nylon bushings and a big bolt through them. I don't think the nylon
has to be reamed (but I could certainly be wrong).
Another alternative, one of the UK vendors is supposedly selling TR2-4
bushings that don't need to be reamed after installation. I'm a little
nervous about this idea, but maybe it's OK. I think it was Revington that
has these, but maybe it was Racetorations. BFE & TSi would probably know,
might even carry them too.
