I'm checking to see if anyone has a 7 degree reamer to borrow or rent. I thought the k727 balljoint would fit my mustang ii spindle. Turns out... I was wrong. If no one has a reamer I'll probably use another set of upper balljoints for the lowers. Thanks

I seem to recall that using the K772 both top and bottom a common practice with the MII spindles, so that should be a pretty safe bet.

What is the thickness around the lower mounting hole? Is there plenty of meat to ream it out ~0.150 without substantially reducing the spindle integrity?
