Well, I'd drill undersize, and ream to size - most drill bits don't drill
round holes, and by drilling (purportedly) "to size", the linkage is half
wornout already....

I've got some sloppy shift linkage on the Ambo. Essentially, the pins
and holes have wallered out with time and use (and not enough
lubrication). The end result is that there is a lot of free play in the
linkage.
Other than purchasing new linkage (which I assume is no longer
available?), what is a good way to fix this problem? Would it be best to
drill out the holes and replace with generic bushings and pins?
