Hi Gareth
Sorry, I didn’t realise this thread was preceded by another on the same topic. I would agree with Parazine in that ideally the hole should be milled. Hand drilling is fraught with perils (don’t ask me how I know). An alternative is to turn up a new phosphor bronze bush or turn down the outside of the bushes you have. I know that requires a lathe!
Alternatively if you are intent on drilling out the holes I would use an adjustable hand reamer slowly increasing the cut diameter until you get it right.
Cheers
Howard
