Reply to "Advice needed, Postwar chassis to shell screw Alignment"

So, I tried that with replacement screws I had on other GP’s, Note original screws went out with the sale of the former GP’s in the past. Replacement screws I took out of presently owned GP’s end up on an angle. There still is a clearance issue. The hole is misaligned unless I use considerable down ward pressure on the shell to see the Shell to chassis mount pathway. Maybe the thread is stripped from the Wong size screws? Geesh! The only other thing I thought of is the vertical post that holds the shell and aligns the hole may be not entirely up ie slightly bent. But it doesn’t look that way.
I did not think the screws would really be an issue but I think under the circumstances they exert a lot of downward pressure With the shell.
the shell is really tight on against the inner posts. 
there are no screw hole splits or damage on this shell. I certainly don’t want to be that guy!

I will post a different observation not in this topic but on the engine.

thx for your patience, answers and advice.
