Can you send me a photo of the offending bush? I've got a box with all the bushes in somewhere, I can check the bore on mine so you can compare.

I took some measurements of the bushes and the bolt and as you can see the difference is 0.5mm. i know it's not too much but in this case it could make some problems. what do you think
