Fred,
OK, I understand the issue. I really don't have a good
recommendation. Only can say that you need the LG09 to fit snugly in
the LG01A bushing with no slop allowed. The over-center is tenuous
enough as it is. Any slop at all certainly would aggravate any
problems there.
Perhaps someone out there with more machine shop experience can come
up with a better solution or a means to lap the bushing to size while
maintaining proper alignment.
Good luck,
Bob
