this one is decent as well:

That's exactly how I shim, didn't think to actually measure the side to side movement though, always did it by hand. I'll try measuring it next time.

But then it would disappear. Because hardly anybody here reads stickies.... :(

Exactly, yet somehow people still don't read them and continue to ask questions which are clearly stated in the stickies.

Right on Dayton, it falls under TLTL, just shotgun the question out and hope someone will answer...
