Default Rigging question

I am rerigging our Pacific Seacraft 34 this spring and am wondering about the toggle attachment to the chain plates. The lower end of the turnbuckle has a T bolt and toggle. The inside measurement of the toggle is 0.50" while the chain plate is only 0.25" thus leaving 0.25" of space. It seems to me that if the toggle moves all the way to one side, the load on the chain plate would be off center. Would it be a good idea to place a wash or two on each side of the chain plate to keep the toggle centered on the clevis pin?
