Hey y'all,

I am trying to replace a tension bolt on a Brooks B17 saddle, and it just doesn't sit properly. I can't get the head of the bolt to sit in the middle of the nose bracket. Any ideas? I started with the recommended 70 mm bolt, and NO WAY, so I tried the 64mm bolt which allows for, theoretically, 6 mm more room, but still no dice. I would appreciate any input.
