I bought some VO Montmartre bars, like these:

Then some Dia Compe levers, like these:

But they don't seem to fit. How is this possible? It says the only levers that will fit are the ones I've bought. Am I doing something wrong in trying to install them? I reckon I would need some serious pressure to fit it in. The first wedge bit doesn't even go in to the bar end.
What have I done wrong?
