Reaming the bushings

[109JB]

I situations like these, I just weld a rod to the shank of the reamer or drill. Have done it many times and works great. Use a rod the same diameter as the shank and then use a piece of angle with the reamer and rod in the V of the angle to keep them aligned and weld them together.

This is a very good way to do it because they need to be line bored so to speak because they are welded a little off which shows up later when you are ready to mount the elevator.
