Does anybody know where I could hire a tapered reamer or have a steering arm hole reamed out in Melbourne?

I am building my own high steer arms and need to ream a tapered hole to suit Patrol tie rod end.

I have looked at buying a reamer but it is going to cost over $150.00 and that's a bit too much for a single use.

Try the yellow pages. Most engineering fabrication shops will have them.

what size, we've got a few here

Cheezy Racing can do it.

Hey YankeeDave

What sizes do you have? In looking All I can find is flute length, max dia and min dia. None of the reamers listed were sized in degrees.

Also where abouts are you located?

lyndhurst, basically south dandy


off abbotts rd,

i'll go out in check in the tool room later for em

Thanks mate.

I'm just round the corner in Quality drive!

what size shaft are you using so i get you the right one, and how long would you need it for?

i could not find a reamer when i did my hi-steer arms. i bored the taper in a lathe using bearing blue to get the taper right. it was a bugger of a job. i wish i had this info a while ago.

I bought a hand one from super cheep was about $10, bent the little handle on it but it did the job...

Are you sure ????

yeah I think it was about $10 or $20 from memory and I think it was about a 1:10 which was right for a crusier TRE...
