Need help to establish tolerance

Need help to establish tolerance

Need help to establish tolerance

(OP)
To assemble a couple of pins at diameter 5.1 from detail L with a press, the part (material aluminuim) is fixed using the two diameters of 40.035 (section A-A).  Basically two cylinders get inside those two "pockets" (diameters of 40.035).I will really appreciate your help to establish the correct tolerance for the couple of cylinders that help fix the part. Is it better to keep one rigid and the other one flexible? is it enough with just a tight tolerance? what will be the correct tolerance?I really appreciate your help, thanks.

it might be ok to use cylinders with mating part dimmensions, these one's will have a diameter of 40.035 +0/-0.005.
The big concern will be for position from those two cylinders...
