Looks like you're a tad low on the toe.

Yes we’re guessing we need to add a 15/1000s shim to pull the spindle up a bit higher.

That will also likely mean more shims left to right to tighten up the lash a bit. It is at 4/1000 now which is on the tight side of perfect. This will probably loosen it up a bit which means I have to chase down some more shims. . It’s a bit of a chase your tail type excercise.

The cheap spool is just stock welded up. So I’m hoping will drop straight back in with little lash fiddling.

PLUG AND PLAY! (That never works out)

I was thinking .0001" to .00015", no more than .0002". Chasing your tail is right. Make one move on the pinion, end up making 10 moves on the ring.
