Inner Tie Rod to Center Link Issue

[Lil Lucy]

Hey all- I'm hoping to get a little help with a steering linkage issue on my 67 with ECE 4/6 drop, power steering and disc brake upgrade which includes 63-70 2.5" drop spindles. All new tie rods but I believe I am using my original center link (I started this project in 2014).

The problem I'm having is the inner tie rod is loose in the center link. The bolt runs out of threads before it tightens up and it seems like the bolt is too small for the hole. Everything else seems to fit great. HELP, what am I missing?!

BTW - I have done a frame off on this truck and believe it or not this is the first time I have had to ask a question that I could not find the answer already posted on this site. Could not have done it without you all. Bravo!
