Hi Mark,
Initially I would have done the same thing you did, and if they didn't fit well 
I would solder the plugs to the fulcrum bushing. I use a low melting point 
solder to solder carb butterflies to the throttle shaft only using a propane 
torch. You used to be able to buy it in a kit with a coil of wire and a small 
bottle of flux. Inquire at a good local welding supply.

The A arms for the MKII are all reassembled, and (almost) ready to go. My only
hangup is that I want to put grease zerks in the small end plug of the fulcrum
pin. I measured the openings and measured ~0.60" diameter, so I bought some
5/8" expansion plugs, drilled them for 1/4"-28 zerks, and turned them to 0.60"
+- .010". Here's the rub, the ends seem to have a detent machined into them
for the plugs that is too large to accommodate the expansion plug's greatest
diameter. I'm considering using a snap ring in there to hold the plug in
place, anyone have any ideas or knowledge to express and share?
Other than this, the front end is ready to go on so that I can continue with
the reconstruction.
