The width of the springs is greater than the distance between the bolts/spacers to get the bolts in the spring plate to line up with the holes in the fuse. Solutions I see; - machine down spacers (probably the best solution) - enlarge holes in fuse and spring plate - grind down width of spring (and of course polish out). Just wondering if others had this issue and how they resolved. Thanks -Mike Kraus SS7, just getting started!
