Eye sizing

[Bob Pingel]

Point loads are bad wherever they occur. All pins and holes need to fit, regardless if it is a tang, fork, or eye. The pins should fit in the holes per the spec that Brion mentioned in the essay.

I agree with Bob that all the holes must be the appropriate diameter. Oversized holes can sometimes be filled with a bushing of the same material.
