[Healeys] first motion shaft identity and laygear endfloat

[Warthodson at aol.com]

I am not sure I understand what you are saying below. Did you have  the 
laygear machined & they didn't get the end perfectly perpendicular to  the 
center line of the laygear? How did you determine that the gear needed to be  
machined? Also, are you indicating that you are not using the original thrust  
bushing, but rather a larger non-original bushing? I  would be very  
concerned about installing a modified laygear with a thrust surface that is  not 
machined properly.

Endfloat  on the laygear is between
.007-.0016. I read that .0012 is the limit, but  the end of the laygear is
not perfectly even (thanks to the machine shop).  The front of the box
contains the much larger bushing.  Shouldn't the  real thrust be toward the
large end anyway?
