Just cut seized LCA bolt, scraped up the LCA Bracket

So, there's a bracket inside the body-side LCA mount. It's like a bearing surface and has two bolts holding it to the body. Well, while using a cutting wheel to break the bolt for the LCA, I scratched up the wall. I did my best to sand it back down flat, but it ain't perfect.

Should I be concerned?
 
The reason that bracket is there is so you can put shims between the box in the body and the bracket to adjust caster. The way bushings work, is the inner sleeve is held tight against the sides with the bolt and the rubber flexes as needed. As long as the bushing fits and inner sleeve can be held tight, there should be no concern.
 
Yup, clamp the shite out of that junk!

If worse comes to worse, the Clevis is an easy part to replace.
