Me thinks there is a misunderstanding here... the flange is bushed, the birdseye
is not. The flange connects to the whippen, or the hammer butt, or the damper
lever, or whatever part you want a flange to connect too......by way of a
centerpin that goes through the birdseye hole in that part.

Also.... you have a flange...and you have a part to connect to the flange. And
you have a centerpin...and axel if you will. The flange is bushed.. the part is
birdseye'd.... grin

Now that should be perfectly clear.  :)
