Roger's concern with the factory reamer was that you can't fix one
that's worn and getting a kingpin with a diameter not to spec. The
adjustable reamers he uses have pilots and come with a conical bushing
to locate the pilot. Roger made a couple of cylindrical bushings to use
instead of the supplied bushings.

Sizes are D and F for the big Healey, I believe.
I bought the one Moss sells from Little British Car Co. a few years ago
when it was on sale. Worked well. The bushings are soft and it's not
going to get a lot of use.
