That's why I recommended miking the O.D. of the bushing and the I.D. of the bushing. Crocus Cloth is great for polishing steel. but I think he needs more stock removed than crocus cloth would remove in a reasonable amount of time. AND he should file a pretty good lead (Long lead angle) on one end and enter the bore of the perch, tap it lightly, then remove it and mike it at that point. Then proceed to try to bring it almost down to that size. Once it's close, grease it up and drive it in.
