LSD oil still good

the driveshaft is 25.92mm dia

the loose bore of the LSD casing is 26.2mm dia, 25.8mm long with a 2.50mm chamfer

just ordered a 25.4 x 28.58 x 38.1mm plain bearing

but according to calcs I'd have to machine the bronze sleeve down to just 0.14mm about the same as a drinks can!!!

even with my limited lathing skills, that's near impossible on a semi-accurate mini-lathe without the wafer thin walls collapsing.
my options are either to take out the gearbox, strip the LSD and enlarge the hole for the bronze bush (too big for my lathe, would have to take to another machinist),
or I lathe the inner driveshaft abit (reducing the oiling grooves and possibly weaken the shaft)
