Great item to add to keep to parts from working loose.

Pin worked perfectly. It was an exact duplicate of an 80 year old pin. Thanks!

I used a taper pin on the control arms for my ailerons. They worked great and took all the play out that had previously existed with just a thru bolt. Be careful when installing to use the correct drill size for the initial hole and to approach the final taper diameter carefully to prevent overshooting the desired level of penetration. A small increase in diameter of the taper results in a very large increase in penetration depth.

Q: What are the appropriate reamer sizes to use with Taper Pins 1, 2, 3, 4?

You would want to use the "BROWNE & SHARPE TAPER REAMERS" for AN386 taper pins. They are labeled as 1-10 for the applicable sized taper pin. The first number after the AN386-, is the Brown & Sharpe taper pin reamer size required.
