Perhaps enlarging the hole in the bushings to thediameter that just touches the edge of the center most point of the block hole and let the tuning pin follow the block hole. This has the disadvantage of potentially making the block hole oval. Alternatively get a drill with a chuck at 90 degrees and drill them out from the underside of the block. Use a bit slightly smaller than the block hole. Newton
