I.e. The spindle and hole for the bolt should be aligned very close. Check that the flat spot and hole bore are 90 degrees to each other. Get a new spring or put the spring hold down bolt off a couple of degrees and adjust the metal support plate and buildup of ply to match the slight misalignment. Not hard, just one must be aware.

When I inserted the mounting bolt in its hole and looked along to see how well the spring shaft aligned with the bolt it seemed to be out of line. Difficult to measure accurately but about 2 degrees. Is it reasonable to expect perfect alignment?
