Hi Murks. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by brass bush wire. I'm guessing I'm not the only one. I suggest you post some photos of the wire you have, and the place you want to make a hole.

Brass bushing wire is used more in clock repairs than watch repair.

A lathe is necessary the turn the outer diameter of the bushing wire to the diameter that you want and the drill is placed in the tailstock of the lathe to drill the hole. Then the wire cutoff to match the thickness of the plate.

I recently rebushed the centre hole of a vintage watch with a ready made bushing from Bergeon. A end cutting drill is needed to cut off the excess bush and get the correct amount of endshake with the cannon pinion fitted on. 

A staking set is also needed to press in the bushing  and expand it in the hole.

The entire process is quite involved and requires specialized tooling.
