Tolerance a profile to become a fit
Tolerance a profile to become a fit
(OP)
Good afternoon, back again with my stupid but necessary questions! 
We have some pins which are shown on the attachment, these fit into a bush head, shaped the same way (so the bush is slotted) How, or should I say what is the best way to tolerance this piece in order to give it a H7 g6 type fit with the bush? I've never done it before, as you normally put those sorts of things on a hole/shaft. I've experimented with line profile etc. but it just doesn't look right.
Any help would be great!
Cheers

Do both your pins and your matching slots have obround shape?

According to the text of the stahdard, "For the purpose of ISO 286, only features of size type cylinder as well as type-two parallel opposite surfaces, defined by a linear dimension, apply."
That is, only simple features are subjects to "fit" and not compound ones. So, the best you may expect, is fit similar to H7/g6
H tolerance zone is extending from theoretically exact Nominal (formerly BASIC) feature into the body of the part, similarly to Unilateral profile.
g tolerance zone goes even further into the body of the part, being unequally disposed, but in the same direction - the condition that is not very well defined for Profile tolerance.
If you are willing to go there, we may consider the possibilities.

I was thinking of using, although didn't think it 'looked right' the profile of a line and having the tolerance one sided with the 'U' and using a mid range tolerance of the fits. So for example it would look like the attached image, being mid range of a g6 fit. You know? At least that way I know it's all going one way, and then I BASIC all the dimensions in question?

Adding datum(s) will also control orientation and location.
