Sorry what I meant was that I have turned them on my lathe and I was ready to machine the taper. I had realised that the tapers were possibly not the same (Maxi - Transit) and I was just seeking a bit of reassurance that the method that I was planning to use to make the taper was OK in case I spoilt 2hrs work. Sorry for the confusion

Confusion reigns supreme,mixing up mushrooms and bushes.

Can be smoked but not legally !!!!

Its not fair to post who's mushroom adapters I have and there is no way I will get involved in purile childish arguments,suffice to say that they were made to a spec impeccably and as stated previously not yours Phil and other users have mentioned adjustments have had to be made with regard to taper depth and the reamer used was for the lower ball joint in the hub.

Good building one and all.

Oops, clang, the penny drops. Just prior to starting this thread I had pm’ed jimmyd about some pedal BUSH material that he had kindly given me FOC. Immediately following that I wrote the original question and got my wucking mords fuddled, call it a senior moment. After the reply from Talonmotorsports had answered my question and confirmed that I was on the right lines I failed to re-read my original submission to spot my mistake. So a very big sorry to K4KEV for causing you confusion. Thanks to flyerncle for making it clear to me. By the way flyerncle you might smoke the mushrooms, I come for Shropshire and down here we bake them into cakes then you don’t have to dry them first!
A sincere thanks to all that contributed to the thread, now I’m off to turn the tapers in those “whatchmacallits thingymabobs”. Did I mention that I make my own bushes!

Now that's all cleared up can I ask Trif what muddy lane in Shropshire it is he lives at the end of? I too am in Shropshire but not up a muddy lane, Telford to be more precise and it's alwayts good to have another builder local.
