I am thinking everything is fine except the hole for the cotter pin will not place the cotter pin well inside a notch of the nut. When it is tight I was not able to insert a cotter pin without lining up a notch on the hole. So we are not talking a great amount of added thickness of the spindle needed.
One grade 8 flat washer should work.
