up-right bushes
I've just turned the up-right bushes using the plans published on the forum.
So a big thanks to the member that made the plans available. I've just got to machine the tapers, I've calculated the taper angle at 2.9 degrees, my intent is to test this on an offcut using the ball joint taper as a plug gauge.(that is when it arrives) That is unless someone knows a better way of getting the right taper? cheers Trif |

No trail and error is pretty much it, I'd say have a go on some scrap first then try your luck on your finished parts. Good luck.

they sell the correct reamer in the axminster catalogue, i think theres another thread on here someware about this saying how deep to ream them, but i just reamed them out till the top of the taper was deep enought to get a full nut plus 2 threads on, cheers

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong ....but I think the taper in the mushrooms is not the same as in the hub carrier... hence the axminster reamer will be no good ....I machined mine with 3 degrees of taper and checked with a tranny drag link and found it had made good contact throughout the taper (tell tale contact lines)

Did mine with same reamer and no probs.
Some have mentioned that mushroom holes have not been deep enough for the ball joint taper to give enough thread .

May I ask who mentioned it and where the mushrooms came from? I've had no direct complaints so am not aware of any problems with the ones we've produced for the group buy.
