Mine is similar. I put it down to the alloy stretching when the pinch bolts 
are tightened. My only concern would be whether or not this means the pinch 
bolts were over tightened...

Failure of the fork caps as a result of over tightening was a common 
problem with some early '70s Meriden Triumphs.
