For me it is, but it's hard to tell from most of the answers.

So? If I would've started a new thread on something I could find the answer to in another thread, someone would comment that too.
Did you even read my question?

Read the whole thread. The play/slop is normal. They all do that.

I have read the whole thread, hence my question...
A lot of people are experiencing the same thing, but only one person mentions a cause.
So my question was just that if all of those who experience the same thing relate it to the same cause - the tolerance in the squared fitting where the lock tab mounts to the jiffy.

Those who replied to the thread 8 yrs ago or those who just replied to your post? Those who replied to your post were just letting you know the last reply was 8 years ago so the odds of you getting a reply are pretty slim. You could always try to PM the people who replied between the original post in 2007 and the last reply in 2014. You never know
Good Luck, Jim

Since it's a common "problem" and my post relates to the topic and almost every post in it, I just thought I'd post here instead of starting a new one.

The tab is cut to be narrower at the tip than the end where the bolt is located. This allows the tab to go into the slot without being precisely aligned. Otherwise it could be very difficult to get it correctly lined up when deploying the stand. By design it allows for some slop.
I think its a good design myself. One of my few complaints about my Indian was the stand. It had no way to stop from rolling right off of it when parked on a forward incline. I either had to leave it in gear or find a level spot. I was concerned enough about it that I bought a parking brake thing for it.
