Any chance of a close up photo?, check to see if there are any remaining pieces of old spring or debris in there, apart from that do a close inspection of the ishapore bolt head if you still have it and check for minor sizing differences.

Wouldn't be the first time I've used the bench grinder to slightly modify spring steel either, but be careful.
