Beam work

Hey all, figured I'd reach out to the local masses first.

I need to replace my front suspension. (King Link).

I do my own work, but I'll need help with some of the fabrication bits.

Plan:
Wide 5 Disk Brake Kit
CB Dropped spindles
Beam narrowed 4" with adjusters.

I'd "like" to do the beam and tie rod work locally. Preferably by someone that is willing to show me the ropes in doing it.

Also, does anyone have a bushing reamer I could borrow?

This work would probably be done in the next couple of months, when the weather gets sucky.

I haev a reamer, but not for borrow. I do the whole thing on the E-Mill. and then I shim them too.

I just bought a whole set from a guy who had a shop some years ago, along with a bunch of NOS parts....

but my wife says I can't loan out my tool..... Laughing

Dood, all of a sudden the thought of borrowing someones tool isn't all that appealing.......

this is the most movement I've seen in awhile.

Yeah, I can tend to to that. And once I get to know you all, I'll just start taking the piss out of you just "because".

BTW, anybody see the paper today? I was quoted and everything.
