I appear to have only 1 thou end float on standard thrust washers .. is this a problem and if so how is it overcome? Thanks

Yeah that's tight,

Whip the thrusts out and give the backs a rub on wet and dry with some wd40 in case any of the stamping is sitting proud and try the again

Also swap the bottoms round in case you have a thick an thin one, basically match them to thickness.

If they are already +3 thou ones from regrinding, you can swap in half a set of std ones to get about an extra 1.5 thou, otherwise it's skim a little off the back if them on a surface grinder

He stated they were standard thrusts

Just lightly linish the steel back faces of one pair and keep checking until you have just over 0.002".

Don't set them too tight !
