    Default Looking for a shop that can bore some parts



    I'm looking for a shop or someone with the right equipment to bore larget holes in a couple u-bolt plates and a pitman that I need bored to 5/8" to accept my heim. I've called around to a handful of 4x4/machine shops and haven't been able to find a place that can/will do it.

    Thanks diesel, I reached out to both (great guys) but still no luck. Specifically, I have an astro pitman arm that needs reamed out to accept a standard Dana TRE taper. Everything I've read online, the correct reamer is 1-1/2" per foot or 7.15 degrees. The tie rod dimensions are as follows:

    Large Diameter Taper: .78"
    Small Diameter Taper: .68"
    Taper Length: .81"

    Then 4 spring plates (3 holes each) that need to go from 9/16" to 5/8" the plates are 3/8" thick.

    I'm happy to pay for the use of someones time/tools, if anyone has the correct reamer. I'm also not adverse to just buying the reamer myself if I can find $omeone with a proper drill press..

    Hey Corey!

    I replied to your email stating that we could help, but that we would have to squeeze it into our schedule. But I never heard back from you. Did you need this done sooner than we could help?

    If you are able to be patient with us, we'd be happy to help.

    Kendo in commerce City would be my next call.
    They are our fabricator and flame spray rebore shop.
    They may not want to do small work.

    We could do the plates no issue we have a few drill presses.
    The taper on the other hand would need the right bit for.
    I know it can be found just not sure from who.
