The Ford Barn - View Single Post - spring perches, castle nuts, and cotter keys

I bought a pair of repro spring perches from one of the vendors about 5 years ago. I'm just now putting them on. When installing them (while rotating king pin) the threaded shaft on the brake actuator arm will not go in the hole in the spring perch. The hole diameter is fine but looks like it's about 1/16" outboard from where it shoud be. Has anyone experienced this?
