      Actually I have 2 sets of needle files , 3 if you include the diamond   
   grit set . This is a hole just under .375 diameter , at the bottom it   
   necks down (like a shouldered cartridge inside) to less than an eighth .   
   If I can match that shoulder angle I can clean it up . If it's pitted   
   I'll have to use your d-bit option - but I gotta figure out the angle   
   first because I don't know how much meat there is and I don't want to   
   cut too much and ruin the unit . It's not really a high priority task   
   but I just can't resist a challenge .
