Hello Alain,
I noticed your question to the Healey list.
If the "free play" is in the vertical, then simply insert another shim until
the free play has been eliminated.
Myself I do not fit the original type, I insert a needle roller special shim
that makes for far smoother operation, but it can be a nightmare to shim up.
Good luck.
Regards.
David.
