I don't have a measurement for it, but here are some pictures to help you draw
your own conclusions. The idea is to not let the tensioner foot come so far out
of the bore that it jams.

Hey Gordon, All
How much shimming is to much?? I know I need just a smidgen of
shimming (a tie wraps worth) but I don't know if the car has been shimmed
already with washers. Do I measure the stack of washers?? Whats to long of
a stack??
