normally these cotters are made by suppliers with the thread in the middle, because its far far cheaper. otherwise the cotters have to be lined up and the taper cut one at a time.
when i was making the donkeys years ago, NOBODY would machine them correctly one at a time.
today, to make them correctly, would probably tripple the price of this item.
they are not useless, but what happens is the thread is damaged when fitting.
if you have very cheap old dye sets, the ones that cant be adjusted. you can tidy the thread after fitted.
so your choice is simple, put up with what you have. or pay tripple to get someone to make them properly.
