CPP Steering box lower front bolt issue

Bought a complete CPP suspension kit that included power steering conversion. Got the bracket drilled and then drilled out the lower hole as the directions say. Fit the steering box up and attempted to install the lower bolt. The bolt won't seat all the way down because it hits the casting of the steering box. Looks like it needs a minor bit of spot facing to make it seat properly with the washer. Has anyone had this come up before, and what did you do to resolve the problem? Steering box is their CPP 500 that comes in the kit. Went thru 6 pages of archives/search and only found alignment issues with it being canted to high at the rag joint, but nothing on the bolt.

Also, the kit didn't come with power steering hoses, and from what I read, it doesn't. However, when reading thru past threads, the kits came with hoses. Was something missed or did the kits change to where the hoses are no longer included?

Thanks guys, appreciate the assistance before needing to contact CPP tomorrow. If this is something common, I have no problem cleaning the casting to make the bolt head sit flat with the lockwasher. I do believe it will void the CPP warranty though, but not sure.
