Al, Use 250 grit sandpaper with your fingers around the machined fit and not a flat file. It is too easy to put a flat side on the surface using the flat file. Take it slow and try to look to see where the rubbing is taking place (you may actually see rubbing marks on the reproducer ). Spend a lot of time with little sanding rather than little time with a lot of sanding. You end up with a good fit.
