The old pot idea is great but the difference between springing for a $3.95 bushing and a free pot is well, $3.95. Just putting tha
Nut-pick's are for when you get crab lice.
I've got a load of old busted pots/bushings for parts here.
Thanks for all the help. Double back here with one more question
Most of the front collars in these kits are less that 10mm long. My front plate is 10mm.
Since I'm able to make clean holes with my drill press, could I just skip the front collar and run a rod straight through my front panel?
That makes sense to me but maybe I'm missing something

You're saying that even with high speed, good bits, and lube I won't be able to manufacture something comparable to an average bushing?
(genuine question)
haha cool. I believe it. Think I could get away with something like a press-fit bushing? the ALU is relatively soft
Today I was at micro center, home Depot, and a great neighborhood old school hardware store
The local hardware had steel and brass rods, but none of the 3 had coupling nuts or bushings
The hunt continues

jeez, that sounded awfully snarky. Not all of us have been building for decades and have experience knowing every fiddly detail. In fact, the OP was actually trying to learn something. I was only trying to help.
