David,
Hopefully the bushings and the pin came from the same supplier or at
least
that you checked them that they do thread together before installing (not
always the case!). Only one of the two diameters of threads is a standard
thread for which you could get a tap.... that is not an option. Best to
un-solder one of the bushings, screw in the pin with the king pin on it
(the flat bit on the pin has to end up in the right place) then thread the
bushing onto the pin and re-solder it. Hope it goes well for you.
Cheers Peter
