I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't fit. Pics?

It should be pretty straightforward -- put the bushing in the spot on the underside of the frame, run the bolt through and it will thread in.

Have you tried threading the bolt in without the LCA just to see that it fits and will thread like it's supposed to?
