As is often mentioned - all newly made parts should be checked for correct design and dimension. We try (not always successfully) to keep original parts to check new supplies against.
 
Yesterday I checked a set of new stock cotters- all now correctly made with offset threads but the nuts were too tight- luckily a club member had kindly donated his collection of old original 'Nettlefold' (an early Australian screw fitting maker) nuts which solved the problem. 

It is now many years since original Austin parts were make so thank goodness for our part suppliers but never forget that all new parts often require 'fitting'- not a job for the inexperienced.
