I can only suggest an rma on the fitting kit or else some skillful dremelling now.A small bit off the lugs and a bit off the ends of the slots in the plate would likely give you what you need,if you are so inclined.Good luck with whatever route you take.
 
Thanks for your help. I thought about mototooling it as you suggest, but that will introduce a ton of slop in it side to side. I'm in the states and the cost was really bad. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. :(

Phil? any ideas? if you have one can you measure it the same as we have to see what the distances are? Obviously mine is different than his so maybe it was a manufacturing error? What can we do here?
 
Well, no response yet from phil,etc, so I went ahead and made the lug modifications. The trick was how was I going to prevent side to side movement of the metal mounting plate once that play was introduced. Something that would do the job but be non corrosive, etc. The answer?

Seal string of course!

The first pic is of the lugs trimmed (you can see the gaps inside the lug mounts), the second with the seal string installed and ready for mounting on the MB.

And I am happy to say so far (about 4 hours in of bench testing) so far so good. No leaks. Temps seem ok. (no overclocking yet, just spending time to cure the thermal grease some before cranking on it)

Holy criminy..this is just SICK.

I have begun preliminary testing today and I am just aghast at what I am seeing already.

First and formost this test is being conducted in a garage that the unit was left on all night and is currently at 82F. This is intentional. I like doing the benching in more or less "worst case scenarios" so I know its really stable. My goals are not for it to live long enough to run a benchmark for bragging rights, I want a fully stable long term (more than 1 year) system.

That being said, I have very quickly gone to 3733mhz on this QX6700. (14x266) the voltage is set to 1.40v but my cpu apps (nvmonitor,cpuz,etc) are reporting 1.36v which is kind of odd. Remember this is on an original Mach1 prommie. Im quite honestly afraid to go further. This is an 1100mhz overclock and it SEEMS like it is not even trying. Temp is -31 (running prime95 as we speak) which is better than my FX-60 was running similar tests (65nm is the shiznit eh?)

Just jaw-dropping stuff!!
 
That's great,have you considered getting it regassed or any other mods ? Personally i always keep a stock unit to run 24/7.
 
No Thickbrit I have not. Figured when this thing dies i'll get a machII GT (unless this is repairable, then I might at that time. Just would have to depend but i'm not going out of my way to do it just for the sake of doing it.

And I have some new numbers for you. really wanted to find the limit so I know if I'm already at the edge or not.

Feast your eyes on this:
