I’ve pre bored the bushes and gone with a .003” nominal clearance on the pins.
How do you measure the clearance Rog? Do you put a .003" feeler gauge all the way around, so the diameter of the hole is 1.006", or do you measure it one place with the pin hard up against the bush on the other side, so the diameter is 1.003"?
I've only done my pins twice, the first time they were a bit sloppy, the second time I fitted hardchrome pins and got it a bit snugger, but neither time did I do any measuring.
Since I put the hardchromes in, the wear has been negligible, so I've not needed to do it again. If/when I do, I'll probably machine down the outer diameter of the bushes and bond them in as you have done, it seems a lot easier to me to ensure correct alignment that way.
