I have only quickly read the original message so may not be totally clear on 
what is required.

However, if possible, I would try to bore both bearings at the same setting, 
by bolting the headstock down, to the cross slide , and then use a between 
centres boring bar.
Even if you had to jury-rig a frame to support it, (perhaps OVER the top of 
the boring bar) and that support meant taking very light cuts, at least one 
could be assured that they would both be to the same setting.
