Door Hinge Bushings

[1965t5]

I am in process of rebuilding hinges on a 69. I noticed the top hinge has a bushing but the lowers dont. Is it better to drill/ add the bushing or what is general concensus?

I bought my kit for RestoRick. It has a bigger pin so it has the appearance of the original but makes it like new without bushings.

That's the best way to do them because the wimpy bushings for the lowers that come in the 10 dollar kits don't last very long.
