Move some things around to get at the mill. (will be a welcome day when I get those counters out of the shop)
Using tapered pins to tighten up the worn splines on the steering arm.
Can't quite see it in the picture, used a v-block between the spindle and the 90 degree plate or what ever you call it. Made a spacer to hold the arm at the height I wanted and the clamps hold it firm and square.
Drilled down 1 1/2 inches then reamed for the pins. Have to cut about 3/4 off them to stop them bottoming out, my next size smaller tapered reamer would leave 1/2 inch of hole below the pin.
Going with 4 pins per spindle.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
