Can you post the product number from the Harbour Frieght Reamers. I can't seem to find them on their website. I'm in Canada so I can't just pop into one of their stores. I'm not sure if Princess Auto ( Canada's version of Harbour Frieght) has any. , Doug.

The bushings do get a little mushroomed when they are installed. I had the spring shop ream them for me. They charged $7.50 a hole. The other option is to buy a good steel bit the size of the pin (mine was 3/4") and just ream them yourself. A Drill press would work the best. I see this an older thread so hopefully you got it done and are moving forward!

Plenty of them on eBay
3/4" adjustable reamer | eBay

Note: just using 3/4 as an example. I would not use a drill, likely to take off more than needed
