that's similar to how i did—not the Mafac part, but the ferrule part—in the first place.
unfortunately, the ferrule didn't fit in the hole either. please see the 5th pic from the top in
this page.
(the pic is down below in this post now, too)
thanks for all the tips, folks. let me keep looking for it, and let you know.
