Thanks for all the great advise on my question on  the bell crank brass bushing.  I did get the first one that I reamed  out with the 1/4" bit on my drill press to work just fine.   I  used two plastic blocks in the drill press vise to hold the bushing so I  would not damage the shaft. Time will tell if I go to a machine shop  to do the second bushing or just use Brad's method on the drill press after  drilling and forming my plastic blocks.  

  

 Hey, thanks for all your help.  It would  be nice if the bushing came from Van's ready for the 1/4" bolt, but this is  all about learning the building process and understanding all the parts in the  plane.

I used a piece of split hose to hold the bushing  and put the thing in a vice and hold it.  Sprayed inside with some  silicone and ran a 1/4" drill bit through it from a hand held drill a couple of  times.  Blew it out with compressed air, shot it with some spray silicone  and it has worked fine.  Larry in Indiana
