I recall reading a tip on one of the forums regarding loose fitting bushings. Said to use a (early now, can't think, the pointed punch thing you use to dent metal before you start drilling the pilot hole....... spring loaded center punch? :-? ) and dimple the metal on 4 sides (like 12, 3, 6, and 9 O'Clock) of the bushing hole about a 1mm away from the edge. That'll reduce the hole size by a slight bit, enough to tighten up the bushing. I haven't tried this yet, so I can't confirm, but it makes perfect sense.
