right then, Richard has been helping me with my straight cut box assembly and idler tolerance (read built it for me). He has told me its .001" over tolerance or 0.008". Ive checked with somerford and the 0.136-0.137" shims are £45! how important is it with the sc drops for the tolerance to be bang on??

I like to keep em tight when I build them.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Have you got an original Rover gasket there? You could try onw of those. Also, make sure that the gasket mating surfaces are CLEAN. I always use an air tool like this

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

When I got my set I was told to shim them to 0.001" I was told 0.008 was way too loose Own the day
