I'm trying to work out the size of primary gear thrust ring I need - I have a gap of 0.017" with a thrust of 0.104". 

Am I correct in thinking a thrust of 0.114 will remedy the situation?

Depending on application, I'd aim for slightly tighter. You'll get 0.007" with a 0.114" thrust washer. 0.004" for standard road use is a better target, 1 or 2 thou more for higher RPM.
