Steve beat me to it.
If you are worried about the post welding alignment and you have an adjustable reamer with the right capacity, you could make an extension for line reaming. Essentially, it is a piece of tube threaded to suit the reamer, with a tapered sleeve to locate the extension in the second bush, whilst you ream the first.
You could alternate sides, or you could make an additional extension and do both in one pass. That is going to get long and heavy, and you're going to have to add drive capability to the second extension.
Here is a mock up using one of my tapered reamers with an extension tube and tapered sleeve (pretend the x-blocks are bushes!):
The box of reamers I have are all inch capacity according to the label. I'm keeping an eye open for a metric set
