We need pics.

I do not think a press fit would have made the engineers happy as it would eventually have worked loose.

According to several members here that is exactly what happened.

But 'loose' does not mean 'fell off'. If the holes were indeed chamfered, the loop could still stay in even if loose.

I'm checking the blueprints now and I see nothing of an inner chamfer. Pages 1801-2-3 of the TBLAP DVD show excellent drawings of the frame and the holes and their dimensions...but no chamfer is shown...
