I'm going to double check now the measurements. How much should the shaft go into the pilot bushing normally?

I was able to easily work on the tranny spacer plate (assuming for now I still need it) but I have run into the Jim holden problem of rocking. I filed down the characters on the top lip and some of the boss on the bottom and it is better but it still rocks back and forth.

Not sure exactly how to fix this as I am trying to mate one piece (the spacer) that is machined and very smooth and the other piece (the black plate with casting "bumps" - not smooth) together.

Thats the sticking point now - trying to figure out how to find, then smooth out the high spot causing the rocking between the spacer and the tranny.
