Default Problem with front axle made of a mixture of parts.

My Axle is a 1933. The Spindles are 1937-1941. The Wishbone is a 1930. All is fitting together well, except the Tie Rod. Whether I mount the Tie Rod on top or bottom of the Spindle arm it hits the Wishbone. If mounted on the bottom it is smack in the middle of the wishbone. If on top it is about 1/2" into the top of the Wishbone.
Would it be safe to heat and bend the arms on the Spindles. Or make a Tie Rod with bends on the ends?
