My passing thoughts are :- (1) Wrap round wool packing until push fit like piston of syringe. (2) A split collet pushed up by spring or screw under-head. (3) A cone bearing with the end control adjustable by nut or packing washer. (4) Perhaps a simple quick cone would do for both diameter and end play, and always be free from slack. For this fault to happen in a new car suggests limits are too great. Reduce and use assembly by selection until another scheme passed. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
