Just a tip to others out there. Don't accept that the stamp/laser etching size stamped on a main gearbox shim is accurate, Treble check thickness with vernier guage first. I received a 1.4 mm stamped shim that was actually 1.5mm when measured accurately and had to linnish for ages to get it down to the correct thickness I required.😒

Some fettling going on that gearbox setup 😬
Very informative, thanks guys! Been wondering what the layshaft bearing shim method was all about.
Any chance some pointers could be added to the issues being overcome and what the builder was pointing to to help others.
What a balls ache 🤣
It’s all good fun :)
