None of the Spiderbox A-arm parts are that close of tolerance other than the bronze bushing and hole at the bulkhead.

No need to bother going through the trouble of measuring, i was just wondering how you guys were installing them --what i've put together is so far from stock that it can't be done. But if i put sintered bronze sleeves in, they're self lubing anyway. kind of neat cutting/grinding it and seeing the lubricant (graphite i think) come out with the heat.
