My left seat joystick is developing a bit of play. I think it needs a taper pin. I borrowed the "community" taper pin reamer a couple years ago and sent it back out to the next guy that needed it. Does anyone know where it is?

I think I have it! I'll look for it today

Once you guys are done with it, let me know. I will have you ship it back.

Which reminds me that I have one of David A’s tools to return!

I found it! Bill if you want to PM me your address I'll get it in the mail next time I leave the house.

Learned long ago that when something is everybody's responsibility, it is nobody's. That is the reason why I have not donated to the foundation, the two tools I keep sending out. Suggest having one active member of the foundation be placed in charge of maintaining, tracking and insuring the return of tools.

Is there a #2 taper reamer being passed about, or is it just the #1 size? I'm looking for a #2 Brown and Sharpe taper reamer for my control sticks. I'm pretty sure that's the size needed to replace the AN4 bolts.

I have just ordered a #1 and #2 B&S reamers from Aircraft-Tool.com. Their price was about 1/3 of AS price.

Mistakenly ordered same previously from MSC, and found out the hard way that aircraft reamers are NOT the same as standard #1 and 2 reamers, which are MUCH smaller. You have to track down the Brown&S ones.

Here is the information on the reamer being passed around from the foundation:

This reamer is a B&S #1 size and will taper holes for the AN 386-1-8 taper pin.

Available:
B&S Taper Reamer #1

I found that I could get large enough holes with the #1 reamer even for the larger pins just by drilling farther into the parts with it. For whatever that's worth!

Chris,

Thanks for that info. That may save me $40 if I can borrow the #1 reamer when Bill is done with it!
