Is the misaligned pin on the same side as the bent radiator bracket? If so, perhaps whatever bent the radiator bracket also caused the pin misalignment. In that case, I would have looked for the lower half of the split axle tube to be slightly deformed. That would cause the misalignment and not be all that obvious.
Looking good, Wayne! Loving the restoration process.
Thanks for the comments. This is my first restoration project. I am learning a lot. Hope to finish by June 1.
