Shimano 600 /HB 6207 hub cones

This is a little hard to describe but here goes . I needed new cones , so I ordered them form Wheels Mfg. I first talked to cust. serv. ( they were real nice ) I got front and rear cones and ball bearings . Rear hub went together fine . Front hub problems are when assembled I only have about 2 threads showing per side , so OK answer would be cone is to long . Well I can't find any difference between old and new same OD and same length so then it would be bearing radius was ground in wrong , I can't see any difference there either . So I just assembled with out the washers , got enough threads showing on the axles . But when I do the final adjustment and get it a little off drag and do the tighten up I can shake the axle up and down & back and forth , tighten up just a little and it locks up . So just as a test I reassembled with the old cones and it was perfect . I'm thinking there is something up with the radius . Thanks for looking , Mark . PS axle is not bent.
