I find it much easier to drill and fit oversize shaft rather than the palaver of drilling and re-bushing ( in fact I can see no reason to re-bush now that oversize shafts are available). The body has to be drilled out a bigger hole to accommodate the bushings than a new o/s shaft takes so from a preserving metal point of view o/s shafts are better. Agree with Ian in #2 try solder if you don't want to send any money at all on new parts!
