The fit feels fine. It is tight enough to require a separator tool to pop the threaded post out of the hole. When the nut it tight it has about 1/4 inch more of threads that it could turn onto if the spindle was thinner. 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.
