Hi

Can anybody tell me how i should fix the crosshead to the piston rod on my Simplex, the construction notes say to use a taper pin no 0000 but i have no idea where to get one of these and the right reamer from.

Thanks Ian

Most ME suppliers of drills etc should be able to oblige. Tracy, RGD, Reeves etc

A 0000 size taper pin is 7/64" which may make it easier to find as most of the ME suppliers list them by size though you may have to settle for 3/32" or 1/8" as not so many do them in 64th steps

I think the last time I bought a reamer and some pins they came from EKP
