Spring shackel question

I've installed new spring shackels front and rear. I've noticed the bolts on all go well past the cotter key hole. If I install the castle nut up snug so as not to bind the up and down movement of the shackel the cotter key doesn't engage the nut as it should to keep it from turning. Are the nuts to be installed in such a way as it allows front and back movement as well as the up and down?
 
are you using REPOP Shackles or Originals.. I Hope Originals so they fit like they should??
 
with repos you have two choices, redrill the hole in a different place and shorten bolt, or use washers to take up the spare length
 
Yeah, they are after market not original. I think some washers are the answer. This is a driver not a points car so it won't matter much to me.
 
It does matter....find originals, if it is a driver don't you want to be able to drive totally safe!??
