Default Problems fitting 2wd gearbox cradle

Went to fit the gearbox to the 3dr yesterday but had a bit of trouble with the cradle. It fits to the gearbox fine but when I tried to fit it over the four studs that slide along in the runners under the transmission tunnel it wouldn't fit. The pitch of the holes on the cradle is narrower than the pitch of the studs it should fit over, only by about 5mm or so but enough to stop me being able to bolt it up. I can probably get around the problem by elongating the holes in the cradle with a file, but does anyone know why I'm having this problem? The cradle I'm using is the steel 2wd one not the aluminium saff one and it defintly came off a 3dr so I don't know why it doesn't fit?
