well certainly . .

not normal, but when you look at the "hunk" of steel that is welded on, doesn't seem difficult to imagine it being off a bit. If clearances are that close to begin with, wouldn't take too much of a sloppy weld to stick it out a tad more. I believe the TC is seated correct, all studs came right through and the nuts are all showing the same amount of threads exposed.
