Re-read my early post and do what I recommended to find your problem.

Carl,
I followed you advice and it did make a significant improvement. There is still a difference but only about an 1/8” in height and side to side! I can definitely live with that.
Klhansen, I still may consider slotting the holes on the one side to get that last 1/8” but it’s close enough for now and I’m sure in 1950 they wouldn’t think twice about it.

Thanks for the all the help, Carl, klhansen and Bartamos!
