Actually, I _am_ making the shims, and making headway. If anyone has
been inside one of these before, and confirm that the end float on each
side is interdependent, please e-mail me. Also, I'm really curious about
gasket location/quantity; my plan still calls for Permatexing
everything, but I'm guessing 3 to 4 layers per side, this could affect
end play as well. Thoughts?
