I got some SU rebuild kits from mini sport and they have a bush x2 in the kit for the throttle shaft .
Can any one tell me what size i need to drill the body out to to fit them?

Stepping up from the original size 1/64ths at a time, I believe they are a nice push fit at 5/16ths.

No, if you use a nice drill bit in good shape and the right speed on a drill press you get a nice finish and the bush presses in very nicely ..... But as they are there for the long haul I use a little anyway. It's does no harm.

Smelly's got 'em.
