Having a machine shop deal with this is probably the best way to go, but what about using a straight 15mm hand reamer? What are the chances it 'drifts' a little too much causing the eyelet bore to be all wonky? I've never used one.
Reaming shock eyelet from 14.7mm to 15mm

Very good chance.
Shieeeet... Ok thanks.
What are you trying to accomplish? Spesh shock with standard Fox polymer bushings?
CCDB to standard Fox bushing.
CC uses the same hardware as Fox AFAIK but I had to grind down a polymer Fox bushing for a Spesh Demo CCDB. For some reason they use a smaller eyelet on one side. Works fine...
I got CC to mill me a new ‘axle’ free of charge. Slightly different Issue, but my point is that you may be surprised if you contact them.
I'm fairly sure they used 14.7 on the double barrels while using 15mm on some of the Inline shocks. I don't know. I'll have to pull the current bushings out and measure properly with calipers.
Don't be an idiot and it'll work fine. Hand reamers are supposed to be used, believe it or not, but hand. They'r going to follow the existing hole's bore extremely accurately, just don't go nuts and put it in hand drill set to kill after a 40oz of King Cobra. If you're scared you can always get the shock set up on the V-blocks in the drill press of a mill, chuck up the reamer and turn it by hand, the quill of the drill will guide it nice and straight, note, with this method being drunk is okay.
Double check with CC though, don't fuck up a perfectly good shock reaming things you don't have to. Actually, never mind, it's the internet, do something dumb and post pics for our entertainment.

Hey Chris are you able to see my messages on a conversation? I'm new to this site. Thanks!
Yup, I just responded on that 'other' site.
I measured with calipers and thankfully tolerances are all over the place: 15mm on the nose.
No need to hack-job anything.
