Sierra upright bottom hole reaming
Got myself a 19mm Axminster
handy reamer for modifying my Sierra uprights to use with Maxi ball joint. What size hole do i need to ream out? Or how much of the ball
joint thread should stick out of the bottom hole?

This job is probably best left until you have the lower ball joints to hand 
You are more or less limited buy the length of the tapered section of the joint that you are going to use, if you push down on the rubber boot of the
joint you'll be able to see where the taper ends.
Just ream a little out at a time untill you have enough thread protruding so as you can fit a flat washer, nyloc nut & still have a few threads
showing once the nyloc has been tightened.
I have done several sets of these with no major dramas 
A word of caution, it is not uncommon for different brands of joints to have differing lengths of the threadded section of the joint.
