Tool Help Please!

Post by Belliott3 » Thu Apr 30, 2020 4:31 pm

As you all know, my son recently joined the T addiction club with the purchase of his first T - a 1926 Tudor. He's decided to just run with the distributor that was put on and he's got it running pretty good, but now he's working on the front axle and putting new kingpins in. I must have borrowed the correct tool for facing the brass bushings when I did mine so does anyone have one he could borrow? I think Lang's used to sell them but he's on a limited budget and would really appreciate borrowing one. He's willing to pay the postage to and from and/or pay for the use of the correct tool. Thanks ahead of time for your kindness - you all have been more than generous in your actions in the past.

Bill,

I believe the Casual T's may have what you're looking for in our "tool share" toolbox. Contact Steve Shotwell for more info. Honestly though, it's been a while since "tool share" has been mentioned, so hopefully we still do it!

Jerry, thanks for the heads up on the tool share! I see there is a reamer for the kingpin but not the facing tool; I'll still contact Steve though.
