I'm working to fit the .375" dia bushing into the W925A flap hinge bracket on my RV-9 wings. The drawing calls for a press fit.
The bushing does measure .375" dia and the hole in the bracket is measured at .311" dia. I bought a 3/8" reamer as shown.
The question is how to finish the holes in the bracket, to achieve a press fit of the bushing? The .375" dia reamer I bought won't fit into the .311" dia hole without some further increase in hole size. AND the alignment of these 3 bracket holes was critical in the assembly of the wing, specifying that you run a string through the three holes to ensure alignment.
How have builders installed these bushing?
