Sorry you didnt understand my post inmo the taper is perfect
im sure there are hundreds if not thousands of kit cars on the road that have uprights modded using this reamer
but if your not confident to do the job yourself get it done by someone who is

With a tapered reamer you simply lift it out of the hole every so often while turning it forwards.

whilst i agree with what you say it is a known practice to run reamers backwards in some situations doing so can give a tighter hole size especially if the reamer is new and could cut oversize due to being too keen obviously you need to know what your doing so unless your an experienced engineer dont try it at home

I guess if they are not falling out then there must be a good amount of interferranc along the length ot the taper.

I am quite confident doing it so long as the tool is right for the job.

Cheers.

A reamer can't cut oversize unless its in the hands of an ape. That's the whole point of a reamer, to accurately make a hole to specified size. And I stand by my comment that a reamer should never be turned backwards, ever!

Davey this is a forum and your entitled to your opinion
but im right and your wrong lol
never mind moving on
.3mm is about 12thou so over 8cm is about 1.5 over 1cm so not really alot in it to worry about
so either should be fine

Ray I'll agree to disagree with you . I do agree about the taper, its close enough to not be an issue.
