OK, well I've now got a question.
IF anyone has done this, how did they secure the bushings? I didn't press fit them in as the brass would distort and cause premature wearing.
Maybe set screwing them in, so as to facilitate replacement in the future?
(btw, I drilled and removed the housings to drill the top hole, and the stainless rivits I used to put it back together were a BITCH to squeeze!)
