This appears to be more wide spread than I thought. I was able to get a
brass drift up to that area on my springs and got a couple of good swings in
to move the bracket in the direction to tighten it up. If this fails once
I get it on the road then I will attempt to do what you have done.
The other option is , "Return to Sender" but I'm to lazy to go through that
hemroidal creation again.
