tapered pins

[SVanderkolff]

I bought some tapered pins to use for the pivot on some lock back folders. The pins are 1 1/4" long and .125 at the narrow end and .150 at the thick end. I am figuring I would need to drill a .125 hole and then ream it with a tapered reamer but I can't figure out what size of reamer I need. Can anyone tell me? or is there a special drill bit I should use?
Thanks
Steve

it looks like a size 2/0(0.114-0.146) or 0(0.129-0.164) should do the trick.

I think you are making a mistake using tapered pins for pivot pins. I'm not the brightest bulb in the house but I can't figure out how tapered pins could work as a pivot pin but I'm all for learning new things if you will explain it.
