Default Problem with Skymaster F18F oleos

I am building a Skymaster F18F. When fitting the main oleo legs to the Robart 635 retracts, they would not tighten. The oleo leg diameter is to small. I tried to tighten the trunion up, but as the lugs squeezed in, they broke.
I returned the oleos, explained the problem & Skymaster sent new oleos & another trunion.
Unfortunately the new oleos are just as slack in the trunions.
I think they have an engineering problem.
I cannot believe I am the only one to have this problem.
Anyone had this, & how did you overcome it.
Any assistance would be welcome.

Regards

Jim
