Brand new and reamed to size the fit is probably a bit tighter than the 0.003" that Larry mentioned.  I was told to use a 13/16" reamer (0.8125") and that is just a tiny bit larger than the pivot pin.

There needs to be some clearance for grease. I would guess less than 0.003" which would be inperceptible.

Is there any play at the bronze bushing side or should it be a sliding fit?
