Default Re: Early 28 front brake arms

The difference in final brake rod eyelet location is 1/16". Is this going to be a problem getting the brake rods to clear the shocks? Or am I ok just assembling them the way they seem to want to fit?

Thanks,

The Standards say "They should slat FORWARD when the brakes are released."
