Geza, I use SS washers on the top of the body underneath the first piece that goes on the shaft. Each one I've done is different. It's a trial & error trip and sometimes it goes quick sometimes it take a long time to find the right washers. Eventually.........we are already there. Just about every Vanagon that comes in here has the throttle body worn out.
