I used to do a lot of Kingpins when working for VW at the Wood. I'll ask him for the book, scan and post the pages He has restored a lot of spares for his car, I think he has a complete car minus bodywork, he is working on another, fourth I think, E93a engine It goes against all normal engineering practice and lubrication requrements.īut that is what is in the book, or so he says I will be seeing him again tomorrow and thursday night, preparing the bodywork for respray on Friday and Saturday I can do that here and post them on my photobucket then here for you if you so wish. He has offered to have the pages copied if you require. The king pin is a 'press fit' and then the bushes are a 'Tight' fit It seems, as long as they are the right pins, that they are not reamed.

#Ford king pins manuals
The original Ford Mk1 transit workshop manuals said the king pin bushes had to be broached.later ones for the Mk2 (identical assemblies) said that an adjustable reamer (set to the figures quoted in the manual) could be used.I found a very thin oil and plenty of it helped no end. Thanks for the advise chaps, So when the bloke said "You just need new king pins" I should of known it was obviously a lot easier said than done!! If you use an adjustable reamer they do tend to chatter especially if the nuts that tighten the blades are not tight.īy the way a great lubricant for cutting is paraffin wax, pack the blades with it before you start to cut, make the job easier and gives a better finish. So as Jim has suggested an adjustable reamer with a pilot was in order. on the morris 8 a new kingpin is an accurately ground 5/8" (0.6250") the puka Morris kingpin reamers are 0.6275", I found an original Morris one on eBay got it for a song! however when I measured it I found it had had a hard life it was just 0.6255, so worn and too small to be of any use!!
If grease can't get in it cannot lubricate. clearance to lubricate the pin and bushes. If you do resort to adjustable reamers don't make the fit too tight! The grease needs at least 2 thou. Sorry? I do remember that with the vastly number of sizes required in a garage that tackled almost anything we normally used expanding (adjustable) reamers, if necessary turning a suitable pilot in our lathe.Ī word of caution though.
Thanks for your help Roger - PM Sent mate. I'd get him to come on site, but most of the people I know are not into computers I'll ask him if he still has the reamer, or knows the size. Nice one Jim, I don't suppose you still have your reamer do you? Or remember the size please.Ī Neighbour has a Ford Pop that he renovated from a breaker rescue Quote from my late Dad:- You only need a woman and a car and you have all the problems youĪre ever likely to want". I must admit we used to ream them and we never had any (premature) comebacks. I assumed that I would need to ream the bushes but it seems you broach them because they are split.ĭoes anyone know anyone who does this? Or can anyone lend me the Ford A/CY-3109 kit?įord Pop (E93A models and similar Fords) used to require King Pin attention quite regularly. I have a "sit up n beg" 103E Ford Pop, I have bought a new king pin kit. Posted: Fri 4:50 pm Post subject: Ford Pop King Pin
