97 Disco Bottom End Rebuild

Nothing is going right. First it was missing bolt, then stripped threads, now the new cam gear doesn't fit on the new camshaft. When I bolt the gear down it clamps the gear and camshaft end down on the thrust plate. Either the new camshaft is slightly short or the gear is slightly thicker. Maybe I'm not supposed to use the thrust plate at all with these replacements.

Going to call BP this AM. It's Allmakes brand. Not sure who the manufacturer is. If they're going to go to all the trouble of machining these things to tight tolerances everywhere else they could at least get the damn length right... This is like making a space telescope but then lens is the wrong shape...oh wait.
Washer could work I guess... Seems a little TOO shade tree though. I'm also guessing finding a large but very thin washer at the hardware store isn't going to be simple. I'll be lucky to get this thing running by NEXT xmas at this pace.
