Brass seat threads too tight

Received and installed today. My engine ran, but the threads on the brass seats were not properly finished. They turned out to be the right threads per inch, but not deep enough in the "v". They locked in and started squeaking at the first stream. I didn't want to force them and mess up the threads on two expensive carburetor bodies. Had to reuse old seats with new needles. The rest worked as expected. Having bought the float, needle and seat kits I was very disappointed.
