I rebuilt my TR3 carbs a few months back and found that I didn't have to 
touch the carb bodies themselves.  I didn't have bushings, just the aluminum 
body, but we measured them and there was not problem - all the wear was in 
the throttle shafts (around .011" or so) and was leaking air.

I rebuilt the carbs from a Moss kit and have been very happy with the 
results.  No more leaks, the carbs tune great and I didn't have to ream or 
anything.  Did put some Molybedum grease on the shafts though to help lube 
them.
