Bob,
THe new rubber fittings are made that way, just about 1/2 " to large.
The idea is you have to clamp the fitting to do the install.
I used a simple adjustable clamp and it only took a few turns to line up the
bolt holes.
THe idea here is when you release the clamp, the extra tension will make a
better fit.
Bob
