I've never seen a published figure for laygear endfloat Harold but my
conclusion was the same as yours so I always try to set it to between 1 & 3
thou.
On occasion I've had to resort to turning up my own rear thrust bearings to
achieve the "correct" end float.
One box that came into us with a complaint of jumping out of 4th gear all
the time had a broken and therefore missing rear thrust washer. Setting up
the endfloat with a custom made thrust washer to compensate for the wear
and refacing of the end of the laygear and making no other changes solved
the problem completely.
