The reamer is a 'special' as it fits right through the arm when it 'cuts' the bush therefore ensuring a straight cut . We have the genuine one which we got many many years ago from an Austin main dealer that closed down , no problem doing it if you want to drop the arms to Cork . We have reconditioned hundreds of these throughout the years .
