I see you have thought this through and plan to compensate for the perches moving closer together when you raise them the 3/16" you have stated. I gather that the only reason you want to raise them is so that the split pins (cotter pins to us Yanks) will properly engage the nuts. Keeping in mind that those nuts have the taper on them and also are of a "high crown" design are you quite certain that they are not re-faced on the taper, or possibly just too short for your application for whatever reason?
