Ok - I'm working through a number of options on this and tonight re-visited the poly bushes. They really don't file at all though after a very long time one of them was getting closer to being the right size for the trunnion bolt. However, since I don't have a couple of days to file them, a drill didn't work, I don't have a reamer or a lathe I tried an alternative approach. Using a scrap/damaged trunnion bolt I heated it with a blow lamp and then pushed the bush on it and ran it up and down. Then I cooled the poly bush and picked off melted debris and gave it a quick file. I repeated this process several times on the first and the second bush. Sure enough after a while both bushes are now a good fit on a new trunnion bolt. It's possible I might need to 'heat-ream' (a phrase I believe I've just invented) each bush once or twice more depending on how much they compress when fitted to the trunnion - but that will be a project for tomorrow night.
