Charlie69 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Nice writeup on the king pins. You amaze me with what you are willing to do yourself. Unfortunately if I can have it done cheaper than buying the tools I have it done. Call it Datsun Economics. 1 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Very nice write up. I was worried about bore alignment with the hones, but I'm glad to see that it wasn't an issue. Where did you order the hones? Size? I think all I have left to do is make the delrin washers.....I'll have to check. Got side tracked saturday playing with my mill.....first time in 4mo? 1 Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 I got them off Fleabay Mike. I had a few already, but not this size. For the kingpins, you need 20mm. Honestly, I think you can do this job well with just the 240 and 600 only. http://www.ebay.com/itm/20-mm-Flexhone-Flex-hone-Brush-Research-240-grit-787-Aluminum-Oxide-Hone-/351358109198?vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-4-19mm-Flexhone-flex-hone-lifter-bore-600-grit-/371298318059?hash=item56731ab6eb&item=371298318059&vxp=mtr 1 Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Measured out the shims: .006" each, all the same size. All the kits I've used have had .006" shims....and never enough. I've since found and ordered a bunch(100?) .010" shims. I figured a couple of those per side will make it so I don't have to reuse any old ones. 1 Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Where you get them from Mike? Do you know the hardness? 1 Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The shims? Hmm....I'll have to look.....not ever sure where they are in the shop right now. I'm not sure the hardness was listed. It was a place I found online....tons of digging and a couple of emails. 1 Quote Link to comment
