If you have the thickness on the rod and cap and thickness in the bushing you could drill the cap and rod tap small holes and loctite in set screws as pins, i dont like using a pressed in pin design all it takes is a rapid heat and shrink of the rod next thing you know your pin is chewing the crank from dropping out of the rod or cap, as for that flat journal either have it cut or find a good crank, no use in working your fingers to the bone to build a seriously good bushing to put on a mediocre crank that will kill it after a summer on the lake, im a memeber of the do it right the first time club, instead of curse it as its going to the smelter pile club. :ugeek:
