LCA pivot shaft and adjustable strut rod issues

You can add me to the list of guys with these greasable shafts sitting unused in my junk box. Mine didn't fit all the way in to the K-Frame either, because they are machined too large to fit in the holes. Since the shafts are tapered, they stopped about 1/8" short of going all the way forward in to the K-frame. Reefing the hell out of the nuts didn't help either. Put the stock shafts back in with stock bushings and never looked back.
I emailed James at PST right away to describe the problem, but it just seemed to puzzle him. He asked me if I had heard from "Dan" in the Customer service department and I replied that I hadn't. That's where the email conversation just died.
That was 6 months ago. I just picked up another V8 K Frame last month so for the heck of it I dug out these shafts to try them in this different K-Frame, with the exact same results. I emailed him a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything. I don't envision anymore PST purchases in my future. I will redirect my buckets of cash elsewhere.
