Spark and Throttle Spiral end play

[jgbrown59]

As I was preparing a set of offset springer handlebars to be painted (for a 47EL), I test fit the spirals to be sure they operated freely. In the process I found there is considerable end play with the fit of both spirals. With the end screw fully seated the spark side has .045” end play/slop and the throttle side has .050”.


Has anyone come up with a good way to reduce this - like with an appropriately sized washer/shim on either end of the spiral?
