You are correct....

On my BM there are no bushings. Screws straight into the metal of the frame.

I tried the base and clamps with my own yesterday and was able to get them pretty close. Images are on the Curios and Relics forum.

Yesterday I recommended the Forstner bits from Harbor Freight but I found that the bits in the set are nowhere close to the size that the counter bore needs to be.

I had to make a counterbore bit from a broken drill bit.
