I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for a good machine shop in the SoMD/DC area. I'm looking to get some kingpins/steering knuckles rebuilt for my 1966 Fiat 500 and they require some long reamers and tricky press work. I attached a pic for reference. If you know a capable shop, I'm all ears.

I'm still on the fence about trying this route, or just shelling out for new ones just to minimize downtime and hunting for quality work out here in BFE.

Thanks in advance!

Call Paulo Decouto, Auto Centro in Rockville. Paulo has some quite old Fiats (and I believe a real Abarth) and a shop. He'll have an answer for you, and possibly a line on the parts. Very nice guy (used to drive a 911 Turbo and raced VWs and BMWs in SCCA but I haven't actually talked to him for about 10 years).

Peter, thank you, I'll give him a shout.

I have no experience with these folks but they are local--assuming you live in the Pax area.
