Levy gas pedal question

So, I bought this ages ago and am only finally getting around to putting it in. The large OEM plastic pin slides through the hole in the pedal to secure it to the mounting bracket, but did anybody else have trouble inserting the pin through their Levy pedal? My pedal has a weld-wart/bump inside, which I presume it there to provide ample tension on the pin, but it is preventing me from inserting the pin at all. Did anybody else come across this issue and did you simply grind the bump down with a dremel?

Is that bump supposed to be in there? Might just be a mistake.

I didn't have an issue at all sliding the pin through. Could just be a defect and you just need to grind the bump down.

Like-wise...no issue like that on mine. A file should be fine.

I did put a little angle on the arm to match the OEM arm (difference visible in your first pic) and so it would hang “straight” and a little farther away from the tunnel. Used a bench vise and dead-blow...didn’t take much. Took a about 20 minutes to r and r. Been flawless since.

Cool, thanks guys. Must have been a defect. I ground it down and the pin slid right in. Pedal set looks pretty slick when all the pedals match.
