Bill,
I dont think youre being overly fussy; we promote them as fitted tampers and thats what you can expect, though there will always be a little clearance as a sliding fit is inclined to jam if you skew the tamper ever so slightly. However, even with genuine LM baskets we do get some variations in size, often in the order of a couple of tenths of a millimetre, and when both baskets are ordered and a variation exists, its clearly impossible for it to perfectly fit both, so we have to get the best fit possible in the smaller of the two, which is normally still within spec in the larger of the two and certainly still significantly better a generic 58mm tamper. Incidentally, the existence of these variations is one of the prime reasons for this poll.
But back on topic...
