King Pin Bush sizes - Tony Press - 03-07-2020
Help- can one of our experts advise the correct outside diameter of the standard King Pin Bushes BL 7 and BL 8 and the upper and lower bore sizes in the hub.
The size measured from old bushes-
Lower flanged Bush BL 7 OD 16.2 mm (41/64" ?)
Upper plain Bush BL 8 OD 17.40 mm (11/16" ?)
From a couple of Club stock bushes
Lower flanged bush 17.46 mm (which must be wrong ?) and 16.20 mm
Upper plain bush 17.44 mm

No comment- so I will take dimensions as below and suggest the stub housings be bored to a press fit
Lower flanged Bush BL 7 OD 16.2 mm (41/64" ?)
Upper plain Bush BL 8 OD 17.40 mm (11/16" ?)
