Default Horn/light switch rod, is it bent too much?

I received a horn/light switch rod today to ship overseas with some other parts for a friend, looking at it from the horn button end, it has a “slight” bend at the light switch end. From the start of the square for the light switch going back toward the horn button end I put a 24” machinist rule on the shaft and it has approximately a 1/16th” bow to it. From the 24” point up to the horn button it is straight. I plan o. Taking by my machinist and chucking it into his lathe and putting a dial indicator on it and getting a more accurate amount of bend BUT initially is that 1/16th going to cause an issue lining up???
