Glad that worked out without mishap.

I strongly recommend a "Irwin" brand reamer (or similar) for opening the bores a smidge. Made in USA, it is actually the product of another manufacturer (whose name I can't recall) and is about 5.5 inches long, T grip and will have many other apps also. I used to use a handle end of a file, but I chipped some poly on a MIM Nashville headstock doing it that way - I would use only a reamer or some sandpaper wrapped into a column shape, knowing what I know after the fact.
