MG Midget and Sprite Technical - fulcrum pin condition

I have been stripping down my spare wishbones are there anny measurment to check fulcrum pin both look ok and seem a good fit and no sign of excesive wear.

Not criticising, Mark, But just for info that is called a king pin, not a Fulcrum pin.

As to condition, those surfaces look fine to me but the real test is to assemble, lightly grease and then feel for any lateral slack.

Whilst you at this stage make sure the grease hole lines up with the hole in the bushes. Mine didn’t and I’ve had to buy new bushes and have the reamed to fit the king pin again!
