Paul,
That is the reamer that I ordered and have received.If you look closely at
the cutting end of the reamer you see a very small bevel on the ends of the
flutes that facilitates the reamer to "dig in" and start cutting. I took it
to a machine shop and they said they would have to do it by hand and that
it didn't have to be beveled exactly alike on each flute since it only
caused the reamer to start "biting". The original instructions in MGB
Driver said you could use a white stone.
I think you have the procedure down as I see it. Insert the reamer shaft
into one of the old bushings using the shaft as a guide while turning the
reamer counterclockwise to get the BACK END of the reamer to do the cutting
away of the old bushing on the opposite side. Install new bushing. Reverse
the direction of the reamer using the new bushing now as a guide and bore
out the other old bushing. This should keep the bushings in alignment.
Kelvin suggested to use the end of the old throttle shaft, or even the new
one as a reamer to ream the inside diameter to the correct size by twirling
it into the hole using your fingers. This should work if the tolerance is
real close, as it supposedly is.
I'm planning on doing this in the next month, so I'll let everyone know how
it goes.

Subject: Re: rebuilding SU's
The article on Barney's site gives the part number of the place. It
had an 800 number. My extensive research (typing www.enco.com and
finding that's not it, then typing enco manufacturing in my Google side
panel of Mozilla :-) yields www.use-enco.com and searching on the part
number 331-1124, gives $5.52.
So I have a couple of questions on this proceedure.
I don't understand the sharpening of the other end. I understand why,
I don't understand the how.
And in the actual reaming. What are we doing here? Do we:
ream out one side
put in one new bush
ream out the other side
put in other new bush
proceed with installing the throttle shaft?
This thread lead me to believe that we'd need to ream after we put the
bush in, maybe I didn't read well.
This is my January project. I gotta get a ceiling up in the laundry room
in December. :-) And finish painting my wheels this month.
Paul.
