Once the pilot bushing is driven into place, you'll need to measure the ID and then possibly size the hole using a reamer, otherwise it may end up too tight on the trans shaft and create binding issues.

You'll likely not want to buy a reamer as they are kinda 'spensive and as you'd be getting a specific size as opposed to a whole set, it would likely end up being a one-time-use then sit dormant in your toolbox for the rest of your life. (unless you decided to take up building Alfa 2L engines as a hobby of course)

Better to try and find a local machine or engine shop that'll loan or rent it for the whole 10 minutes you'll actually be using it.
