<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I agree with what David says.
</FONT><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>It is a one-way street (exceptions
can be made if you care to resize the birds-eye). But to go a step
further, once you determine the appropriate size pin for the birds-eye then you
know if you need to rebush. Fit the birds-eye tight (you shouldn't be able
to move it without a tool), then if the bushing is too loose,
rebush.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Of course the next step is deciding
if you want consistently sized birds-eyes. I don't think I've ever
repinned a set of S/F without altering pin size periodically. I don't
think that is a problem, but it just means you won't size all the bushings the
same, if, for example you were to do a "factory-style" rebushing, using one very
long centerpin to size all the bushings the same. If you did that, I might
consider reaming the birds-eyes to a consistent size to start with as
well. It would save some time later, not having to do excessive reaming of
the bushings.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’ve never rebushed a whole
set. I’ve rebushed individual shanks when the bushings came out but
that’s the only reason. My feeling is that if the whole set has been
repined with as large a pin as I care to use it’s time for new shanks.
You can’t remove a 24 (0.058”) pin, replace the bushing and go back down to a
20 because the flange would be far too loose. Repinning is a one way
street…… always larger.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
