Re: '52 3800 disc brakes

The more I get into this the more confused I get. When you look at this the OK of the 3800 king pin bushing is smaller than the OD of the 3100 bushing even though the 3100 king pin is .055 smaller in diameter. I don't think that there is enough brass inside the 3100 bushings to hone out .055

To me it just makes more sense to swap the whole axle and spindle if he doesn't machine the spindles to the smaller diameter.
