I have followed the debate, but looking at the photos it seems to be more likely that the bridge holes were simply not drilled far enough apart.
This is a problem that I am currently also experiencing in a minor kind of way, on my EX1 build, however not to anything like the extent here - my situation is that I can't get the bridge on comfortably with the posts anything like fully down. Now it might be, when I come to set up the action this won't be much of an issue - also it would seem that one of the posts is perhaps slightly under machined as it is actually a very stiff fit when placed inside the bridge mounting hole. Perhaps a little judicious filing down of the post might solve the issue (and I am only talking fractions of a mm).
In my inexperience, I was guilty of not fitting the posts into the unpainted body to check this out at the beginning - was worried about being able to get them out again - but it's all a learning curve, which is one of my main reasons for having bought the kit in the first place. Any advice on my situation?

Is the tight fit due to the spacing of the actual post bushings, an outward angle on the posts, a bent post shaft, or (as you mentioned machining) is it an overly thick post top on one side or a narrow hole on the bridge, or a combination of several things?

Simon, might be easier if you can please post some photos to clear up what's causing the issues. Without the bridge on see if the posts will screw all the way into the bushes.
As Scott says the issue could be caused by misaligned posts or if the distance between posts are 1mm out makes it difficult to place the bridge over.
Also unscrew the posts all the way out of the bushes and see if both posts will freely fit inside the bridge holes.

Thanks to both of you.
Will take some photos and post them to see if that helps.
